Re: International Pricing Policy

I didn't know pirates obeyed license polices. News to me.

I would like to quote:

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?

You have been talking about someone reselling the software.
You did not mention anything about "pirates" in that text.
So your answer is kind of childish.

However: I even don't see any reason why lower prices would attract any
more "pirates". In fact, the higher the prices for a license is, the more you
do attract them.
Why do you think are many of them working from countries as Russia?
Cause people just can't afford to pay 500 US$ for a software license.

Lowering prices for software in these countries would be the most
effective masure against piracy.
And even sort of effective development aid.
