I'm reading all these comments implying that "poor" people from other countries should have the ability to pirate because they cannot afford to purchase the software...

Putting aside the argument about how affordable apps would be... Who says you should be able to afford it? There are poor people and rich people in the world. If you cannot afford something then you DON'T BUY IT!

Why the heck should a developer waste his time=money to create an application that you are basically going to steal with the excuse of "I'm poor so I deserve to have it." An application is NOT a necessity, you are NOT entitled to it. Live without it!

I'm glad I don't live in a communist nation...
