Well, I have lived poorly and not so poorly. So my value for the money is dufferent.
There is another point to be made. The prices that the advanced economies demand are not that affordable in countries with different income.
How can one pay 200 USD for a copy of Windows if the average salary in the country is 150USD?
So maybe my bisness is not worth having - after all I am just a single person.
But what about the 3 bln people that live in Asia? Does anyone in his right mind expect them to buy legitimate copies of Windows or pay for legal DVD's?!
Isn't it smarter to allow 300 mil of those to watch a movie for 0.50 with practically no cost of distribution (e.g. p2p technology).
