| Assuming it was correct, why did they want to hand their
precious dollars back to MS after they had profiteered
from people subscribing from brain dump sites ? so who is
being silly here ?
By the way, there are so many neat open source programs
already available that piracy may becoming a thing in the

There will always be piracy & counterfeiting. This is not just an
issue that affects software. Manufacturing processes are set up in
those 'countries' to mass produce clothing or other consumer goods in
flagrant breach of intentional copyright law. And there corrupt
government turn a blind eye to it.
Rather then have trade links with China we should be deploying nuk's
to Taiwan & Japan.
