Like i said i at do partly understand it in developing countries, but when you are paying 60 cents for a copy of a game, or windows or whatever you like, that is more than leveling the playing field.  I'm on a Chinese salary and i could buy the whole Wii collection on the average monthly salary here (and i'm in poor China). 

Look, are there worse kinds of evil in the world, sure, but who can blame software companies for trying to stop it because there is no way they can ever compete with 60 cents per game.

Hrmm, okay then. I did notice your country listed as China, but still wasn't sure.

I'm obviously not against software companies being against piracy, I just feel that the products need to be cheaper where people simply cannot afford it - like, somehow scaled to the economy. Of course, this is harder to pull off than it sounds, but until we can find a better system that works, the widespread piracy in developing countries isn't going anywhere.
