[QUOTE="blackice, post: 862032, member: 79035"] In graduate school my international marketing professor talked about selling text books internationally, and how copyright law abroad is very different. In the US text books are astronomically expensive, and if you made a fake copy and sold it the punishment is harsh. But, in Asia their culture views this differently, and in some cases the law sees nothing wrong with this. So in those countries they would sell the text books for dirt cheap to compete with the fraudulent copies. Then US students would import them, and they tried to crack down on that. There’s a different cultural view to information and technology being proprietary and something to be paid for (and behind a wall for the elites who can afford it) VS something to be shared for the common good.
