David;
It seems like you are suggesting countries outside the US do not care =
about=20
IP?
If that is true, there is far less incentive to create it.
Perhaps that is one of the reasons a US company is so interested in IP =

rights.

Your feeble attempts to justify theft are noted and likely reflective =
on
you.

People work hard for their intellectual property just as others do in =

other
fields.
They deserve to be paid what they ask or the buyer simply chooses to =

I suppose you take charity, fruits of others efforts and contribute
nothing?
Or do you sell a product or service and yet seem to deny others the =

simply because it is intellectual property?
Good of you to judge that others can't sell at a fair price something =
