It isn't. The amount of censorship and persecution on "thought theft" in the US (and Western Europe, now they are making copyright infringement a criminal offence) may wery well exceed the amount of supressing of regime critic "thought crimes" in China & Co. China censors its citizens to conserve what they value the most, i.e. the ruling party, and the US censor theirs to conserve what they value the most, i.e. the concept of intellectual property, aka "write once, copyright, sell and sue for the next 150 years".
Wouldnt that be a collosal wste of time, money and human ressources better spent at something else?
And btw, they aren't "pirating" anything, they are sharing stuff that works for them with their fellow men. Why should it be their problem when some greedy-as-fuck overseas copyright fascists want to censor interpersonal communication and information exchage?
Talking about OS X being a "concieved and designed unit of hardware and software", and this applying only to OSX, is also bullshit. Apple just writes drivers for the hardware, or in many cases not even that. They dont "design" their software for this very specific hardware any more than any linux distro does. They just write fricking drivers, like everybody else working with electronic devices out there.
All they "design" their software for is how _NOT_ to work with any other hardware available on the market. They put more work in actually preventing it to work, than making it work. Every hardware vendor who offers computers with preinstalled systems isnt doing less "designing" on the hardware-software-interface than Apple.
Or you should ask yourself if anything like 1-Click (or anything else in the software world for which a patent was granted) was _SO UNBELIEVABLY GENIUS_ that really nobody else would come up with it in the next 20 years, as long as it would be "protected"?
The US are actually the best example that software patents are superfluous. If they werent, the number of software innovations coming out of the US would outnumber the rest of the world by hundreds or thousands each year. And all of these would happen to be patented innovations, since even in the US nobody would innovate without the possibility to patent it. So do you actually remember when you last time used an application a part of which was innovated only because it could be patented later and wouldnt exist without the patent system? And.... do you remember when you last used a innovative application where there were no patents to back it up?

But you're not mentioning that she first has to find out that a certain program exists, then find out the website, download the correct exe, then remember where she downloaded it, dive through the windows file tree in case she didnt download it onto the desktop. And how actually does she uninstall it, if shes lost with anything besides a click on a setup.exe, when there isnt a "uninstall" link provided in the start menu after the installation?
In modern Linux: Installing: Fire up a package manager, scroll down to your app of choice, mark it for installation, apply, done. Uninstalling: Fire up a package manager, scroll down to your app of choice, mark it for uninstallation, apply, done.
Apart from the fact that she obviously wouldnt be able to install some windows-only software, it really doesnt get easier and more intuitive than "scroll, mark, apply, done."
> Like when you go to the dealership, you pick the car model, the engine, color and such.
When youre a newbie, and searchig for a Linus distro to check out, it isnt any different.

They mostly provide sane and easy to learn defaults, and do not confront the newbie with stuff like vi/emacs, kernels, shells and window managers unless he _deliberately_ looks after them.
Saying that the sole existance of some obscure sourcebased distro or window manager he wouldnt even be able to install is making the first choice to a newbie _SO_ difficult, that he shuns Linux alltogether, is like saying people would stop driving and buying automobiles, because of the existance of limousines, sport cars, monster trucks, forklifts, lawn tractors, and so on. You do not get confronted with those in a car dealership. You also dont get confronted with advanced level distros and apps wheny youre a newbie.
> it is also my right NOT to do so, but to sell it in any legal manner I choose!

> Everything you say is an attempt to justify being a thief.
Copying is not a theft. You people started to call it so in order to make it sound worse than it is because nobody gives a fuck about your copyright.
Your "copyright" is not something you _have_ but something which was legally taken away from _me_, i.e. a right to copy something. With the introduction of copyright your situation as a author didnt change at all. You could copy something before and afterwards, but my and everybodys right to copy it was simply removed without the public actually ever being asked about this removal of their rights. If challenged democratically copyright wouldnt survive a single night because everybody would demand their right to copy back. This is the reason "copyright" as we know it was never approved democratically because the ones introducing it knew (and still know) it woudl never be adopted by a majority (only by a minority like you who can profit from such removal of public rights).
"Piracy" as you call it is getting _our_ copyrights back, download by download. Calling people "thieves" and "pirates" will actually not help you, but just lead to even less respect for "rights owners" and accelerate the erosion of the copyright system even more.
I'd suggest you get another job, maybe this time one where people actually want to pay for what you do, and not having a state force them into it by enforcing artificial scarcity. And if you cant adapt, you parasite, just die off. Thanks for reading.

And how would then the ITMS actually encourage more Ipod sales, which it was designed for, when _any_ other mp3 player out there could play the files bought from the ITMS? Wasnt the mantra not always "Apple doesnt make any mentionable profit with the ITMS, but it drives Ipod sales up"?
In most countries on this planet, an "agreeement" requires both sides to agree on something before the purchase. As of my knowledge, only the US enforce those "shrink wrap" agreements, where one side is able to _hide_ additional clauses in the box until the customer opens the box and then require the customer to bring the ware back (and silently hope hes to lazy to do that, aka "agreement by inertia").
Kind of: "Suprise suprise! You are not allowed to fell a tree with this MS hatchet(tm). Upgrade to MS Axe Pro(tm) today and chop away!"

I've never seen either a Windows or some other users correct me when I (god forbid!) dont type a case in their beloved trademark name correctly (or if i actually dont care). (How many times have you actually _seen_ somebody else getting corrected when he types vista instead of Vista??)

This is not a natural given fact of life, but a matter of principle and culture. If your culture does not restrict copying and your fellow man do not condone it, there is _NO_ obvious reason not to do it yourself.
This reason also never existed in the US and Europe, but only in recent times it was introduced as a legal construct _only_ and without any democratic backing. In the US and western europe everybody still would copy Windows without paying for it if.
So you are actually asking the rest of the world to remove their people habitual right to copy which existed for ages and to get down to the US and WE level of mass punishements and legal fear for something people will do anyway?
> Without some education
You sir, are an arrogant prick. Do you really believe the "educated" US citizens would respect copyright without constant legal threats and force against those who chose not to "respect" it?

Copyright is, i repeat myself, not a natural law everybody instinctively understands. It has to be enforced _forcibly_ by the state, and this state of force and legal threat has to be held up, since the copyright system would collapse the very moment there is no more force to back it up.
It isn't since force (GPL) is applied only on the ones who try to take the freedom away. You dont force anybody _into_ freedom, you force people not to tiker wirh other peoples freedom.
Without using force your freedom wouldnt be equally distributed so in the practice you would end up with a less total amount of freedom then in theory.
Like you said, Google _pushes_ an massive amount of visitors _at their expense_ (since you actually do and pay nothing to get them) you othervise wouldnt even have. If you cant stay afloat without visitors another company sends in for free, your site should drop off dead.

Reminds me of this classical Bible story of Jonah and the gourd (http://www.carm.org/kjv/Jonah/Jonah_4.htm>):
Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night. And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?
And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
No one would actually use it in, you know, where it matters, in trade. (Thats what a _trade_mark is for.) What a product is called by some fanboy on a message board is actually irrelevant, and not a way to extort a existing trademark from someone else.
A "defacto" trademark is gained by selling (or giving away) a product without registering it as a trademark, for the case someone registers it just for the purpose of extorting money from you or shutting you down.
So the few using the other OSes neet to develop something a system so outstanding and superior to the other, to impress all those driver hackers to port their drivers over.

They seem both to be not impressive enough in the eyes of the people who have control over the actual hardware they want to run on. A simple "Build it too, and they will come" wont cut it, it has to be a "Build it so much better that they dont have an excuse any more, not to come."
