Comments for In Brazil, Where 70% of Computers Are Pirated, Piracy Is the Rule at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Sat, 28 Nov 2009 11:33:38 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/4104/1/#pc_838 The Brazilian government puts to much tax on computer goods and similar. So people try to evade the tax. A culture of piracy becomes the norm and it touches other areas. Unofficial workers - Why? Because too much unreasonable Tax on employers. If the government had more realistic laws in place, it might encourage people to do things the right way . There will always be problems of piracy, but it\'s the responsibility of government to understand why? The Ministry of Justice should look at ways of empowering the poor by making computers cheaper by taking away tax on electronic goods. One of the reasons why Brazil is looking so uncompetative is so many of the population need proper education - how does a nation become stonger - by empowering it\'s people, not throttling it with Tax on the very things which will help people. I only live in Brazil for a short time and I can see how the poor are treated and how little is being done to provide good education and means to help them out of the trap of poverty. - Guest Thu, 29 Sep 2005 14:49:02 +0100
