I completely disagree

There are only about a billion or so folks live in the West, while the GREAT MAJORITY of the Earth's population (which is about 6 billions) lives in the THIRD WORLD, so you are DEAD WRONG about those who will get the SP before everyone else. The EAST will get it LONG BEFORE we get it. IN fact, once it was pronounced "RTM", I guarantee you that the bits were on their way out the "Back Door" and will wind up on the Street in the East very soon (within a week or so).

This is what I say is not good: Microsoft's OWN "anti-piracy" methods have CAUSED this state of affairs. Of course, if people were not so greedy, basically, this piracy would never happen.

And those in the East, while being very law-enforcement-minded, because of their Islamic/Buddhist/Confuscian value systems, also have a very low level of personal integrity because of their generalized poverty, unlike the West, where a sense of personal integrity is very high, because of the basic Christian underpinnings of our society, and because of our relative wealth, which makes it unnecessary to steal to supply food,shelter, and other basic necessities of life.

It's not as easy to unravel as it appears to be, is it? There are no simplistic explanations, friend, even though we want them to be.
