Software Prices and Availability

by winex . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

The European Commission has fined Nintendo Japanese computer game and its 7 European distributors upto $165 million this week for keeping prices in some Europena markets high.
Similarly, various Software is priced high at different regions of the world which is not justified at all. On the other hand, original software is not made available locally by the owners in several countries which is resulting in more costs to import them from outside the respective countries. Yet, copyright laws areactive in ALL these countries irrespective of the non-vailability and high prices.
All my efforts to convince these software owners to have an universal price tag on each of their products and make the products available in each country worldwide thru atleast a single outlet if not more are invain for the past 2-3 years.
I therefore would like to voice this fact to the concerned world authorities and request them to impose strict laws against these selfish software owners also just as they impose strict copyright laws on the end-users. This applies to all original Music & Video titles also. I have been struggling to get a single original Video CD AQUA Barbie since its release about 5 or more years ago and till today I could not find one even on the internet.
Any suggestions from our members please?
