Okay everybody, I agree with you totally and it is just stupid chance that I ran across this discussion group! But I started my business based on people just like you 4 years ago and I have been providing overseas customers with affordable Adobe products ever since! I believe that the pricing should be the same, and affordable to those who otherwise could not afford it, so I started Indy Software Store. I sell International Version Adobe CS5 with language files to every country imaginable at an affordable price. For example, I sell Adobe CS5 Master Collection Full Int'l Version for $675.00 US! I carry the full Adobe Lines of CS4 and CS5, and much of Microsoft. When CS6
is finally released it will take me about 4-6 months to get it but I will have that also at a fair and honest price. All of my software is 100% legit, and legal, not some kind of hack, crack, or keygen, it's Authentic Adobe validated and verified via Adobe Online where you must first sign in with an existing Adobe ID or create one before installation. I sell to mainly overseas customers in Australia to Czech Republic and everywhere in between, so, instead of trying to get companies to change their methods of greed, find an alternative such as Geert describes or contact me! Thank You, Sal
