- _carbyau_ 5y agoYou are probably right. I don't know enough to compare country citizen wealth. But while your point is relevant to the marketing person, it is irrelevant to me as a consumer. As per most humans of course, I never feel like I have enough. Like many, I have a mortgage and so am required to work until the day I die to keep a roof over my family's head. Not a glamourous roof, but ours. So when I have friends overseas getting the same digital files as I am for less money, I feel ripped off. For physical items in Australia you could argue the large distances for transport explain the cost/convenience difference. But on the internet where the cost of information transport is negligible, a minimum 20% mark up is too blatant for the exact same convenience.
