Fair against whom ?  I don't really care if you, for example, buy something a
hundred times above the market price.  This is your problem.  So if we talk
about being fair, my behaviour is not fair only against the author of the
program.  Maybe not even the author, rahter the distributor, because the
authors usually don't receive money after each sold copy.  So we came to the
conclusion that I'm not fair to the distributor.  The distributor, who sells
the products on almost the same price as in developed countries such as 
ours,
with much higher GDP and salaries.  And expects the same profit, sometimes
even more profit as the price of work is much lower here.  Well, considering
this, I can sleep quite well knowing that I break the law.
On the other hand, if I chosed to buy the stuff, I should have worked for 
about a week for exactly the same program. Do you consider this fair ?
Stay tuned to...
