I agree with Chris about not talking methods in public.
I'll refrain from doing it. To any action there is always a counter action.
If you want my small help, Chris, I'm here to help you.
As for being poor not being a reason I guess that people who said that don't know what being poor is all about. Maybe you should investigate first and then speak up.
But I've been working in some very poor countries and I can give you some clues:
Children toys:
Making a beautiful car with a shoe box (very hard to find), wire and rubber for the wheels. The car wheels will turn left and right with a very ingenious drive wheel all made in wire.
I gave classes in a school of war orphans. taking them outside to make drawings was a very happy moment. We draw and cut and glue very simple 3D houses painted with very bad watercolors.
In a catholic mission I printed dozens of free cars and we cut and glued them in a week of pure happiness. One of my students send me a letter with a photo of him with his family. In his hands he showed the car we made. That was 3 years after I was there.
There are very few computers in the poorest countries in the world and fewer people who can operate them. That shouldn't be the reason not to help.
The pirates aren't making money with these people. They are making money with people that live in the rich countries and that are getting used to buy cheap or not paying for the work of others.
It's a cynical position the one that states that being poor is not a reason for this or for that. Now after less than 20o years we think that slavery is a horrible thing and unacceptable. I hope that in 200 years our descendants will think that absolute richness and absolute poorness is a shameful thing and unacceptable. But that's just me saying.
