But Alan, that's what confuses me the most. Corporate US is nuts about inflicting pain on software (some) pirates and sending IP to a country that has absolutely no laws to protect this "property" seems very ambiguous. I apologize in advance, I don't mean to be offensive but this part of the world is well known for soft piracy. I guess this is another example of Corporate America forecasting only 3 months into the future. --
