While I agree with your general point, not everyone lives in places where 70 USD is 'only' half a day's salary. I think some software products could sell more

  I think that is a bad idea in general to offer regional pricing. In fact by asking the same price you are fostering that people and business in poorer regions have more reasons to be brave and raise their rates accordingly, which helps with equality in the long term. Actually all the companies that offer regional pricing do that with the hope that their overall revenue will be higher that if they don't. It is a short term decision that does not have anything to do with humanity. That said, Sublime Text implements regional pricing with nagware. A larger percentage of devs in poorer countries will be in trial mode, happy that they do not have to pay or use a pirate version.

  Do it with an honour system and leave it up to the customers. Should probably work given that you can keep using an unpaid version forever (at least in ST2 you can).
