How to solve piracy in the developing countries?

How to solve the software, content and application piracy in the developing countries? Just simply sell the CDs in local-standard price!

And please never sell them in global-standard market price because it’s just inviting piracy-mafia groups to their usual business: copying the original, burning it into CD and DVD and sell them in the street vendors!
I can simply give you an example. You can buy The Departed DVD just Rp5,000 (US$ 50 cent) each in Jakarta’s Glodok’s or Mangga Dua’s electronic market rather than buy it more than Rp200,000 (US$ 20) in legal shop in Senayan or Pondok Indah.

Or you can purchase Rp 20,000 (US$ 2) of Windows XP Home Edition CD over there rather than taking it home by Rp700,000 (US$ 70) if you buy it in the official shops or distributors.

Yes, you got it right: if you can sell the original movie DVD around Rp15,000 or original software around Rp50,000, you will find the piracy figures in Indonesia will decrease drastically and dramatically!

Or, if you believe, for instance, piracy will help the developing countries grow, you don’t need to worry and just let it be…
