I think you are missing the point
Microsoft is not crazy to price their software as high as the angels' shoulders and worry about the asian subcontinent because of a few million people who crack the original versions to pirated ones and sell them for less than a couple of dimes. But in the business point of view, if you sell an item legally for a $1000 and a fraudster sells a 100 copies of $3 each, the market might get a good grab of the things they need but never have the satisfaction of posessing a legal copy. Additionally, they would never get any support (for example a fix for a new bug with windows can never be installed if the actual copy is pirated). This just elates to the so called Asian Subcontinent.
As for the rest of the economically serious and conscious world, the law will ensure than no such activity takes place. Even if they do, they are dealt with appropriately. Not just in words or for the book, but in DEED.
