In some African, Asian and East European countries you can "legally" buy software that is incredibly cheap. This software is sometimes manufactured illegally by pirates, and those countries don't have the resources to police the problem. I work in an internet cafe in Ireland, and I get a lot of foreign students from these countries coming in to use my machines, and I have seen the software they bring with them. Perfect copies of software with serial numbers and packaging etc, but you can't register the software, and a lot of it doesn't even need serial numbers, like they have been "pre-cracked" before the software was manufactured onto CD. This is especially true of PC games coming from China.
