So due to piracy, a generation of students came to think that software was not a secure career path. Why get into a career to work to build something that can be easily copied at little cost?
Wow, this is really interesting - in Russia, piracy was as prevalent, but my gut feeling is that Russian software is far superior to their hardware.

- mrtksn 12y agoare they selling Russian software to Russians? if not, beside strong education in the soviet times, it's probably a very good career to sell software to the westerners.
