This bears repeating.
Also, your pointing out the need to include shipping in any price comparison is spot on. Physically moving the object from place to place is required and should be thrown in to any pricing equation (which are also becoming more and more irrelevant these days!)
The Digital life is different, and the things we regarded as important or obvious yesterday may not be today or tomorrow. We buck the reigns while the whole earth is shaking but we don't really know how things will settle in our Digital future. This is one of the many reasons I don't view every shift, shake, or perturbation as fiercely offensive as many people do. It is difficult to fight when the cause is vague and the definition of victory remains embryonic or entirely unknown.
