Only one point..you can't "deprive" people of software they can't afford, they
are not "owed" that software by the MAnufacturer or anyone else. If they
choose to steal rather than buy so be it, let them take whatever consequences
occur, but nobody "owes" the package to them.
 Your analogy to the system of information control in Communist countries (
and others) is wrong..the software is available to anyone with the money,
openly with no risks of arrest, there, the info is hidden, available on the
Black Market with a risk of imprisonment or worse, I cannot buy that argument
as justification for theft..
thats it for now..

my beliefs are mine, if I can convince anybody to give me money for them,
great..
