So if they can do that there - why not here?

At best this is Microsoft trying to earn SOMETHING from people ripping off their software in these countries.

At worse it is Microsoft illegally leveraging their monopoly into other territories.

I have blogged on this site about this subject already...

So the question is - if they can do that overseas - let's see Microsoft put their money where their mouth is and make these prices available everywhere!
