In a batch of 120 BMS students 119 had pirated doze + Adobe + Corel + 
video tools + rippers. All are of course cluless about the politics 
of computing technology. But clued in about IPR, copyrights and 
patents. They have these three as part of the syllabus. They wont bat 
an eyelid while pirating and give a sh** about it when pointed out 
that they are die hard M$ fans and should be paying their hero.
The whole college merrily uses all pirated stuff. The Computer dept 
head is a M$ zombie, does not care either.

Really nice.
