Not really. Thats why the ACCC had Apple and Adobe (and some other companies) on the mat, explaining why they behave the way they do. In Australia we get totally done over, with prices. For example, our dollar has been well above parity with the US dollar for a very long time, and yet we still pay a premium for goods from Apple (even taking into account that our GST is quoted in the online price and in the US, tax can't be included because of State differences) Adobe is actually a lot worse, they excuse ripping off the Australian purchasing public by saying they have to make a different website. oh diddums.
