Re: M$ IL latest craze
Hi All - My Point of View
If Anonymous person live in a country that have 70% tax and he cant finish the
month, hill probably start steeling from the country so he could finish his month.
The government know that very well so it put line where people more less calm and
wont steel, but if the government see that people don't shout about high taxes she
will upgrade it again.
In the age that software products are selling in millions of peaces there is no
reason why the price is so high (I believe that on each 1 legal program there are
at least 5 not).
But if the software company would reduce the price (lets say half) she will double
her sells because one of the 5 thief's will say "In this price ? i wont steal !
its not worth me !"
Its the same in the music area, for the last month I sow on the second channel a
commercial that show many famous Israel singers that don't sing and just sit quiet
all the clip, and then you here "Don't buy pirate CDs you take our profit ....."
But hey on each one record that they sell in 80 nis the pirates sell 5 (some on
market some with CDR). If only they could reduce the price to half im sure they
would triple their sales and kill 90% of piracy.
I don't intend to say what is right I just point to the human nature
