putting price as the reason for piracy does not make sense.
It's like "Steal a car and use it if you cannot buy it". You have money, you buy a car else get a two wheeler. if you cannot even buy a two wheeler, go by public transport.
Should be the same with software. Can't buy Windows Vista, get xp. Can't buy XP, get Linux.

There are two main reasons people pirate in my view.
1. Just for giggles and laughs
2. People aren't born with a gold spoon in the mouth to get each and every paid software on the market.
I'm not here to put a cramp in the IT industry and somehow portray the picture that Piracy is good. I was explaining why Piracy is happening and why it seemed to be low in India . Compared to others.
As mehulved said earlier since there is no foreseen tangible benefits for the end user as far as he/she is concerned.

Okay. You say let India develop. What about those earning 5-10 lakhs per year and still downloading songs and movies from Internet. they can easily buy any kind of software but still, NO. The mindset is like that. I am saying this is what should be changed.

Where exactly did you get this data from again? D you have access to some white paper with this stats. I would love to see Piracy with respect to annual income details.

Someone says we are better than thailand in terms of Piracy. Other thinks "well then, let me copy some songs from internet. After all we are not the worst in piracy ".

I have seen many folks who download stuff off the Internet. Its their connection its their view, its there time. but I have yet to see one who said "Yo bro I'm downloading this movie cause somehow we are way back in the piracy ratings . We really need to get India up in the list. "
