As far as im concerned, it's about time we all stood up and say "We are not taking this shit anymore". If our governments don't want to help the people, then we need to replace our governments with one that supports the rights of the individual, not the corporation. This is a time for revolution!

Do these software companies really expect that they can continue to charge outrageous prices for software when many pay only slave labor rates to the people who write it? How do we know that the lowest paid programmers are not supplementing their income by indroducing subtle bugs in some of the code in order to give others a way in to the system? Does it take 3 months pay for someone in India to buy Windows XP? By hiring slave labour programmers to code software, companies can save a lot of money. Why then do they believe they should have the right to keep people from buying software from overseas sources rather than pay the outrageous price here in the P.S.A? If the big companies can do this and call it "Free Trade," then we should also be able to do the same. If we are prevented from outsourcing our purchases to foreign countries, then we should outsource our puchases to the likes of BitTorrent and LimeWire. By the way, I am not anti American. I am against the cartel-government alliances of ALL countries. I remember that a survey was recently done for people in many different countries. More than 2/3 of all the people believed that their governments did not represent the common peoples' interests. I believe that government is one of the most dangerous invention of mankind. It is a necessary evil, a dangerous servant and a most fearsome master. It is time for people to put away their differences and form alliances to protect themseves from the cartel-government alliances of today. Peer to peer networking is just one of these alliances. Keep up the good work :-) What are the cartels charging for the software in comparison to what they are paying people to create it?
