The main reason for this is the fact that people in India, Nepal,
Bangladesh, China, etc. can not afford the heavily priced software
originating from US (Canada, Europe, etc). The ratio between US Dollar and
Indian Rupee is 1:45. If MS, Adobe, Corel, Quark, Oracle, etc want to
increase the sale of their licences in India (and reduce the percentage of
pirated s/w) then they must bring down the cost of their s/w for these
countries.

This practice is already present in books. Most technical books have
editions printed in Indian subcontinent for sale in these area only which
are priced between 1/10th to 1/5th of the original USD price.

Actually, if the Chinese would lift their dollar peg, the dollar would
probably fall to a more reasonable ratio between the rupee!

but heck, MS, Adobe, Quark, etc, are all expensive even in America!
