You are completely right.
It's a fecking disgrace.

Steal it, I say - Steal it!

On second thoughts - get a Multi-Seat license. One for Work, one for home. That works.

I localised some Yahoo stuff once from US-EN to GB-EN. I'm sure the majority of Americans can only understand words of one syllable (or less).

Didnt someone take Apple to court over this
saying that iTunes was charing 79c in America and 79p over here?
( Joe Scaramanga The bitch hit me with a toaster, Fri 23 May 2008, 14:28, archived)

I think it was the European shops
79p in the UK, 99c (or about 59p) in the Eurozone.

Highly annoyed, they got in that European Court of Everything-Being-Fair

Try this:
Have a weekend in New York. Buy the software that you need. Chuck away the packaging, manuals etc. Keep the discs and the serial numbers though.

This should take half a day. The difference between UK and US price should make the holiday either very cheap, or free.

I used to do this in the 90s, when me and the missus could have a quick break and still be in profit.
