There's probably worse things in the world than Polish capital not flowing to America in exchange for products that Polish individuals can obtain without an expense either to themselves or the software publisher.

The software publisher lost nothing, whereas the Polish individual and Poland both have gained the potential for increased productivity. Given enough increased productivity, perhaps they can even help pull America out of its economic collapse.

Am I kidding? Who knows...
