I just returned from a business trip to Delhi and learned of a retail operation that is blatantly selling pirated versions of AutoCad, AutoShade, Animator and other products for pennies. I'm also aware that Microsoft is currently involved in a suite against them. Should you like more information, please contact me e-mail. Regards,

Matt: Autodesk is interested, and I'll bet you get a nice message back from the Autocops within the next couple of days. Evan

Matt – This issue of sotware piracy in Asia and India is pretty well documented, and I'll pass it on to our AutoCops like Evan said. Al Green once said in an interview that AutoCAD is the most popular CAD product in China, and we don't sell it there!! Hell, we had a case here in the SF Bay Area recently where people were selling some really high quality counterfeit DOS 5.0 – over $170K worth was seized! Thanks for posting this – R@A
