As long as I can get chilean wines I am happy :-) And in fact, I do here in East Lansing, Michigan. Chilean wines are _excellent_ and inexpensive (argentines too, similar geography close to the Andes). Best Quality/price ratio. This is not off topic, because these might be the wines that Fernando uses to trick the Masters in their machine-human games :-) > >>Or just perhaps we are very far? >>Sorry, but it is not the case, although I know many USA citizens really believe >>that outhamrica is like is showed in those movies where peoplea, around noon, >>just put the head in a wall and get a siesta.

Just a wild guess. I do not think that not selling will decrease piracy. On the contrary, pirates use internet. Even worse, if you cannot find a legal product even if you look for it, the temptation to get an illegal copy increases tremendously. Besides, why would you (as a for profit company) care about piracy in a place where you do not want to sell anyway? I does not make sense to me. Regards, Miguel >Did you see my email?
