While they try to jail a teacher who was a victim of software pirates who sold the computers to the school, Microsoft is proudly encourages piracy openly claimed by Romania’s president, Traian Băsescu. Mr. Gates proudly accepted a “honorary pirate, Bill Gates.” medal and wears it for the photo opportunity, smiling with Băsescu.
Look up this article on google searching by “Thanks for letting us pirate” (in quotes)
This does not sit well with sending a teacher to a jail camp in Siberia and refusing pleas to Bill Gates from two presidents …
So Hypocritical!
