From this article:
Australian Democrats IT spokesperson Brian Greig has lashed out at Microsoft chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates over local charity contributions Gates announced as part of his visit to Australia yesterday.
Interesting Part:
OSIA alleged that Gates, in addressing the question of software piracy in China, said:
“As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade”.
He also said that Microsoft would never have copy protected software !!!! Now that they have the world by the curlies all this new on line registration is going to generate higher revenues for them.
