LOL WRONG. Same lame argument as always that neither you nor anyone else ever manages to justify. You didn't even think before you posted: increased revenue drives prices down quite often. Revenue increase from from reduced production costs drives costs of all of your computer components down. Granted, it isn't the only reason for a price drop, but to believe it plays no part is just wrong.

LOL @ the people who claim gimp is a replacement for photoshop. Obviosuly, you have either never used photoshop, or don't know how to use it.

Going back on topic: This is an unfair measure that will do nothing to stop piracy, but do a lot to strip citizens from yet another right. However citizens seem to want that lately. Many citizens are all up for being controlled, for being told what to do all in the name of fairness.

Sigh. I wish stupidity would be lethal to its owner....
