LA Times Article, How piracy helps Microsoft....

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-micropiracy9apr09,0,414067.story?

The article makes the argument that countries who pirate MS Windows
eventually become cash paying customers and thereby helps MS. In
fact, one of the pundits likens it to a drug dealer that gives away
the first dose for free. Once you start using the product, you'll
keep using it. Can you make the same argument for any product?
