That right there is the thing that's working against digital music in Australia. I can buy an album on iTunes for $16.99, or in many cases I can walk into a shop and buy the CD, complete with packaging, for $9.99. Hear that? That's the sound of Australians being shafted.
Consumers are not mugs. We know there's no material or delivery cost in an ebook. Charging a premium for an intangible piece of software is not only witless, it promotes disloyalty and mistrust, and it drives consumers back to shops or forces them to consider nefarious means.
