Hi Norm,

"Why isn't MSFT mgmt. to blame for all the piracy in China? "

They are. My attitude is: If someone is pirating your stuff, your prices are too high.

I know my opinion is not popular with a lot of people, but i think asking the pirates for 10% of gross would be better than continually playing cat and mouse in trying to shut them down.
Everyone would benefit, not just a few socially maladjusted geeks and their masters, often themselves borne into privilege.

FWIW
Andy
