To help track the distribution and sale of counterfeit DVDs, a government agency plans to produce informational brochures about the consequences and risks of counterfeiting; they also request sellers and consumers to report any counterfeit DVDs they encounter. Which of the following, if true, would provide most support for the notion that the agencies' plan will have its intended effect?

Vendors of authorized DVDs tend to have more repeat customers than the vendors of counterfeit DVDs. Review Answer
