You really think so? If they sold to some other country for, say, $100, how
long do you think it would take for people to set up sites where anyone *in
the world* could purchase from that source for $100? A day? An hour?

Should Ferrari sell its cars for 10% of the price they sell them for in the
U.S. just so people in some 3rd world country can "afford" to buy them? At
least Ferrari doesn't have to worry about pirates making their cars
available on the Internet, CodeGear does.
