It's not just the issue of cost. The sheer chauvinism of current intellectual property law as negotiated between the record companies/software industry with the U.S. government begs for this type of backlash. Microsoft, in Bill Gates shrill voice is insisting the US Government and WTO enforce the M$ IP and collect the M$ tax all over the world (including China). I don't know how to say "What the f*ck?" in any dialect of Chinese, but I'm sure it's being said. It's even obscene from OUR revolutionary context. It's not gonna end with China. These rascals (M$) have it coming. -JCJ
