I live in Brazil, and have lived in the US for one year in a very poor state (Mississippi).
I do believe you are right about "understanding and supportive of the poor". However poor people in Brazil do not have anything even close to what anyone in the US would call appropriate conditions for living. No health support, financial/social security aid, adequate sanitary conditions or even access to education.
And yes, "Whether the extremely poor live better in Brazil or in the US is very questionable"... but it is surely harder to survive in Brazil being extremely poor.
Sorry, but I cannot imagine why would someone pay a fee to wait for a place in queue or even the file availability and possibly end up getting a corrupt file. All this of coarse exposing your computer to ads and spyware... bahhh! not even if they paid me
If I was paying for a file I would expect at least a fast, stable and reliable server.

If it works why are they so worried about telling the rest of the world about it? best thing about war technology developed in the US: marketing
