Boy... Just like them. You know... maybe there wouldn't be so much pirated software / music out there if people weren’t getting fat off of it. Should I honestly believe that Microsoft needs almost $200 a copy of windows to get by? NO they do not. Just like the record industry... CDs are WAY cheaper to make than tapes, but tapes are less than half the cost of CDs.

I'm so sick of software companies complaining about piracy. My dad's company replaced all their computers rather than upgrade them to XP / office 2003. They would have spent more on software than it would cost to replace the whole machine, so they just got new computers. There's something REALLY REALLY wrong when ONE company can demand so much for their necessary product that it renders the software more valuable than machines.

Supply and demand... right. More like rape and pillage.
