Comment

The proliferation of downloading data 'illegally' is a symptom of the greed of the manufacturers and distributors. They have shifted some of their manufacture to countries where goods can be produced more cheaply but then take measures to restrict consumer access to those very same markets. They insist directly imported goods from these countries are 'illegal' and the only lawful way is to pay up to twice as much for the same item from one of their approved sources. Duplicitous...I'll say it is; they deserve a sharp lesson in honesty themselves.
