Mencetak buku/dvd/vcd untuk dijual murah atau dibagi gratis. Padahal jelas-jelas melanggar hak cipta, kecuali sudah mendapat izin.

Dear Beng, Thanks for comment. Thats collective buying is good idea. About the paradox. It will happen any way. Especially in low per capita income country. Such as Microsoft Software that is worlwidely used even in the government network we still can find illegal software user, not because they dont want to pay but they cannot pay in international standard.Even the Microsoft did not do any strictly or so offensive action to people who used their software for free, but I think (might be)they will consider that as charity to human kind. Because Bill Gates very Rich already! I found many Buddhist friends and fellow in our country who willing to learn Dharma, hundred thousand rupiahs even 25 thousand is a very significant nominal for them to spend. About "menggali lubang sendiri", I'd rather say that as we drink water with bit impurity in it. We could say we eat "nasi" eventhouh there is some 1%"pasir" in there. The result of bad karma not strictly determined by kind or type of action we did, but rather determined by how intense, or how bad the motivation in doing it. Many Stories proof this. Lastly, everybody should take their own Mirror. If we know we have the cappability in finance already but we still doing it conciously, thats will dig our own suffering-hole. Mulyadi
