    interesting point. :) But, it's not one kid we are talking about here. Consider this.. 42% of ALL candies are stolen. 75% of all kids have stolen at least one candy. and that has a significant impact. About the paying capacity, I have seen people installing pirated $0.99 apps on their fully...

    Refusal to pay for apps/software

    ..because there are real people behind it. They spend real time developing it. They have real bills to pay every month.

    Refusal to pay for apps/software

    I think it's a multi level problem. Lack of regard of Intellectual Property in the end user's mind being the most unfortunate one. Unofficial PC owners: Obviously a major part of the problem. These machines have no warranty, no stability and no legit software. Their target: non tech savvy...

    Doctors in India? What is your views?

    I used the term "experienced doctors" in context with people's perception of a good medical institution. I never said it was a fact. It is what some people believe. Please read it again.

    Doctors in India? What is your views?

    I see multiple debates on this thread. Debate #1: Medical service is one of the most noble professions. However, with rising population and greed, some crooks have tainted this profession. Some doctors(with probably fake degree) do everything to make money out of people's misery. This is very...

    that's a very valid argument. The laws are tough and they are implemented very aggressively. But sometimes things get pushed a bit too far.
