Help Support Yamaha FJR Motorcycle Forum:
Just curious how you think this isn't and won't turn political? :blink: Or has one thing to do with FJRs or even motorcycles?
I'm going to leave this open as an experiment....but beware it's like a bare 440 volt wire. You want to try playing with it you might get shocked.....dead.

You know, it's getting to the point where it's almost easier copying money than it is to copy Microsoft stuff. What's the world coming to?

Left onto 4th and Drucker, then turn right onto Drucker and 4th. It should lead you to nowhere quick.

I would offer to go get the popcorn but, I think this thread will be done before I could get it popped!

What I find interesting about the article is that it fails to mention the previously long-held practice of Microsoft (and most other legitimate software publishers for that matter) of under-pricing the boxed retail versions of its products in developing economies at price-points 40% - 60% below those of the developed economies of the US, EU, etc., in an effort to dis-incentivize piracy. One could surmise from this article that Microsoft has since given up on that practice as it has had apparently little impact on the rampant piracy in China (which is far from standing alone in the Asian piracy arena).
Having previously lived and worked in Asia for over 12 years, I'm quite certain that intellectual property piracy on the whole has little to do with politics, i.e., political will or a supposed lack thereof, and everything to do with traits of endemic cultures. I have a bit of a background in this and have fought the good fight for US business interests abroad - IPR issues were always a main event, so I speak with some knowledge of the subject. Governments, associations, NGOs, manufacturers and publishers on both sides of the fight will always bark because it's easier to bark at a single person or body than it is to bark at hundreds of millions (if not billions) of people. In other words, a finger must be pointed and someone must be blamed. But to politicize the issue completely misses the point.
[Note: I hope this wasn't too political, and agree that it has nothing to with motorcycles (though I'm sure that even Yamaha regularly contents with IPR issues in many, many countries.)]

Could someone that knows the specific whereabouts, please call 911. Iggy has had an apolitical aneurysm.

Perhaps I am missing the point of this... but is there some reason I should give a crap about it?
