I still feel like Microsoft should pay me for using Windows 8.. If not, i'm not going to touch it ever.
Well that shouldn't be that hard for most since not many people have touch monitors ;-)

Moving on to what’s causing piracy, particularly in emerging economies, the report suggest that pricing is an important issue.
“High prices for media goods, low incomes, and cheap digital technologies are the main ingredients of global media piracy. Relative to local incomes in Brazil, Russia, or South Africa, the retail price of a CD, DVD, or copy of Microsoft Office is five to ten times higher than in the US or Europe. Legal media markets are correspondingly tiny and underdeveloped.”
Actually they do

People who don't want to pay let's say 200$ wouldn't want to pay 100$ either. Even programs that cost 1$ get pirated.
