So that a problem is decided, the first step is to know the problem and to analyse the origin of the problem. The next step is to analyze possible solutions and, then, try to decide of the best possible form. I do not believe that the problem goes to be decided only with the use of the law, this is a great and complex problem, that it goes very beyond piracy. I find that the best one for my country to develop, of general form, is to attack in education. With regard to Jose, who I nor know, I find that he must be a good person, therefore he is very ingenuous and spontaneous. The spontaneous people are generally good. Paulo Soares, from Brazil
