Gee, if I had a company and the PRC govt asked me to do something, I would probably do the opposite.

Agreed, and one would think you could get good PR out of standing up to a repressive dictatorship. Maybe Microsoft is counting on future revenues from China, but they have little reason to respect American IP laws.

But if you didn't do as the PRC asked, you'd lose business. What then? I would venture a guess that 9 out of 10 freepers would do exactly as the PRC asked.
