Why don't Americans go to China's website to download free software?

I encountered this problem during my stay in America.

This situation can be explained from several aspects.

On the one hand, after all, only a few people in the United States know Chinese, and those who are familiar with the actual situation in China, except some young immigrants from China, are estimated to be very few, so most Americans can't think of and don't know how to find free software downloads.

On the other hand, the protection of intellectual property rights in the United States is very strict, and the use of pirated programs will bear a very heavy legal cost. Many software and movie downloads are blocked in the United States. During my stay in the United States, I basically don't use Baidu video, because most movies will pop up after clicking open: because of copyright ownership, movies are currently only played in Chinese mainland. If you want to see a movie, pay for it. At first, I was running a pirated CAD20 14 system on my notebook, which was never a problem in China. However, after I went to the United States, my computer often had various problems that I couldn't imagine. Except for reinstalling the system, there is basically no solution. After reinstalling, various thorny problems appear again and again. Later, an American friend told me that AUTODESK discovered that I was running pirated software, so as long as the pirated software didn't uninstall my computer, it would always be attacked and invaded by AUTODESK early. Finally, I got bored and bought a genuine one (the design software is really expensive).

Then, the economic capacity of the two nationalities is not proportional. A worker in China earns 3,000 RMB per month, and buys windows 7 32ibs Home Edition, which costs 398 RMB on Amazon China. This is not a small expense. The cracked version does not need to spend money or only pay symbolically, and it does not need to bear legal risks, so it is understandable that piracy is rampant. However, it is too risky for Americans earning $3,000 a month to use pirated software, and the same software costs money.

Finally, Americans are better than China in intellectual property protection and legal awareness, and the government supervision is stricter.

In addition, at present, most universities in the United States have free wireless local area networks, which belong to public networks.
