WELL chess i just wanted to share a big problem in our country ...............that can be solved very easily .You don't appreciate it, it's fine and i will stop here but don't blame the 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES and south asia saying that they spread piracy......................yes they do and they will continue if the situation doesn't change.

like i said there is nothing India specific- its much more rampant in china and other places. I would advise you to get some facts first - i am not blaming anbody - its a fact that nobody except western europe and america(which this forum consists of) pays.

It could be a fact that most of the american's pay for the s/ware's, including the MS stuff, but totally unjustified in suggesting the other's don't.

I ain't trying to justify the piracy thing, just pointing out that a reduced price can totally kill pirated stuff.

And regards the "Can't pay Don't buy" thing. This is one of the reason's Linux is turning out to be the favourite amongst many people here, at least.
