OMG!

I would really love to know where these people get their figures from............if you tried to produce that crap in a court of law over here you would get 6 months to two for contempt..........even 3-7 for conspiracy to pervert, and perjury.

How can they even substantiate these losses?.............sales our EVP marketing promised? BAH!

Yes, in countries such as India, they will have NOT HAVE MADE sales, but they would never have made those sales anyway, because the consumer cannot afford the price.............now, if they produced a hindi/gujurati/punjabi only version...............cantonese/mandarin (for China)..................those would be pretty useless elsewhere, and would get round the grey import problem.

The truth is they have lost virtually nothing, because if it came to paying anything like the full price, no-one would buy it?

I do not believe that file sharing has anything to do with it...............that is just RIAA braindead crap?

They did not sell because consumers choose not to buy.............ask yourselves, how much software do you have that you actually use or really need............do all the *nix boys use M$ Office? and so on..............

Yes, people will "play" with a pirate edition, but could they live without?, the answer has to be yes.

Adobe are going the same way.............as soon as I see the TV adverts it is a sure sign

Just my thoughts
