Helen,

I agree with some of what you have said. The developing economies of this world need better computer software. But is Office, Dreamweaver, and AfterAffects, or even XP required software. Millions of users around this world are running Linux and open source software that they haven't paid for. We have computers around here that are running only freeware and open source software. What is happening in Vietnam and other countries where piracy is happening is not literacy, it is theft. The Lord of the Rings on DVD is not about literacy, it is about making a buck illegally.
