We call it software piracy. Unfortunately, not enough attention is being paid to this matter. People rightly complain about the US government (and are heard too) for their human rights abuses and the flimsy argument they used to wage war on Iraq, and that is a testament to how free western society is. The level of criticism directed at the Chinese regime, is negligible, because of the complete control China has on information going in and out of the country. There is a theory known as The Paradox of the Fisks: which says that The most criticised societies in the world will be the least criminal societies, and conversely the least criticised will be the most totalitarian as a closed society does not allow criticism of itself. It's not up to Microsoft to bring free speech to China. It is an issue that transcends the technological world. One government vs. 1.3 billion chinese people -> you do the math I agree with Bill Gates, in that savvy computer users have and always will find ways to circumvent measures taken to control how they use programs or the internet.
