In Asian couturiers you are considered mentally weak and a sucker if you buy non tangible goods (dvds, software, porn). The few people that do buy instead of copy are very quite about it as it is a sign of weakness of character.

Gates cracked the Chinese issue and is able to sell windows there now and he actually has celebrity status. He first decided he would rather have his content pirated instead of people useing linux. Then it was figured that it was cheaper to pirate his instead of linux do to the number of disks. He has worked deals, lowered prices to what people are willing to pay and has near full market share. He has been able to litterally ween people off of pirating his software and paying for more applications of it.
