I like having a dollar mcdonalds menu all over the USA - means I can eat for a dollar all over - my indian friend said that dollar menu in the west coast USA - oregon - didn't have the same items on the dollar menu in fl - the double cheese was 1.29. So 30% more than the 1.00 you pay in most other places. Why do you think that is so? As to your question on pricing fraud - answer mine - why does one pink stinky place cost 2000 per hour and another similar or identical stinky pink place cost 2 per month? The only difference between the 2 is thier locality to certain populations of certain people. funpic.hu Look what people built monuments too in the past :) I can just click on a link and not have to fly there to see it eh? Pricing in the digital world is even more interesting than the real world though: yro.slashdot.org Your Rights Online: Digital Music Downloads Too Expensive? Posted by Zonk on Thursday April 27, @11:33AM from the suspect-the-source dept. threeofnine writes "The Sydney Morning Herald has an article written by a copyright and technology lawyer asking if we are paying too much for digital downloads. From the article: 'Parallel imports are unavailable in the Australian digital market, however. Australian consumers cannot purchase downloads from iTunes or Wal-Mart in the US, which are often cheaper than downloads available here, without a US-issued credit card. And restrictive licensing conditions imposed by copyright owners also limit the sale of digital downloads across international borders. For both reasons Australian consumers miss out. And retailers cannot buy downloads from overseas and resell them here, even if it is worthwhile for them to do so. In a recent analysis, the prices of Australian-made CDs of artists such as Bon Jovi, REM and Robbie Williams were compared to those of legal parallel imports. It was found that the local product was as much as 300 per cent more expensive.'" That cannot last can it Jay?
