And this is different from any other country how? Maybe they feel it's just about time for China, the largest and oldest nation on earth, to keep up with the competition?
It's not just you. It's a well known fact that all Chinese and Russian developers are evil communists that only release free code to promote their evil communist way of sharing! Remember what the RIAA told you.
Your statement shows that you have absolutely no clue at all about this subject. Come back when you have learnt a bit about it so you can actually argue for it instead of simply calling people morons. There's a lot of litterature and research out there that shows how little copyright actually affects the guy that used up 3 years of his life making the thing.

Of course, photoshop is a great product. Without support from the current copyright law to artificially create a limited supply, maybe they wouldn't have such a shiny building, but I have no doubts at all that the product would still exist, except for sale for a lower price.
In an ideal world, the anti-DRM, pro p2p crowd would be the very people who were actively moderating sites like these and keeping them clean of illegal content.
In the pro-piracy crowd, there are no illegal content. If you buy a CD or a DVD, it's yours and you should be able to do what you please with the information.

If you're complaining about the cost of software, well then don't buy it
I thought that's what we are accused of? Not buying, that is.
anyone who's taken a simple econ course understands supply and demand
Did you take one of those courses yourself? The cost of a product generally follows the simple equation demand / supply. When supply is infinite, as it is when you can copy something with zero effort without affecting the original, the cost approach zero. In order to be able to extort the consumers in paying a lot more than the products are worth, there are lobbied laws in place to force an artificial scarcity of the product.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for the leechers. Otherwise I think it's great.
Just imagine the sum of the cost for **AA because of all directors, lawyers, PR-people etc that has to sit hours after hours in meetings about how to act on these "evil torrent-sites". Then smile.
I think google would report more ff/opera/others than is actually used, since most of the sheep probably use the default search, which most probably is microsoft's own search in IE7.
This all boils down to trademarks and copyrights, which Slashdotters are normally against
If you had bothered to check any of the arguments that pro-piracy organisations bring out instead of just believing everything the **AA says, you would have noticed that all of them are for a strong trademark law, but against a stronger copyright law. It's two completely different things, and I think you are the one that is confused about these words.
She's a substitute, which means she was only in that class a day or so. She could as easily have been a substitute for half a year or longer, let's say if the regular teacher had got an injury or was home with a newborn child.

Sources? Or is this what the journalists think?

A vast majority of the sexual crimes against children are from people they know.

Except it has a completely different CPU, GPU, sound system, and uhm.. cartridge format, and memory, etc.

A0 is defined as a sheet of paper with an area of 1.0 m^2. There's your metric.
