Adobe CS3 much more expensive for the Europeans - Petition

There is a petition on the web against Adobe pricing policy in Europe.
It is in English, French, German and Italian.

QUOTE:
Adobe has announced the launch of their new CS3 line of products containing
new and improved versions of previous software such as Photoshop, Illustrator,
Flash, etc (details on http://www.adobe.com
With new products comes new pricing... fair enough. However, prices for the
same product (i.e. the mac design premium upgrade from CS2.0) go from 599$
for an upgrade in the US to 1'057$ in Switzerland and 1'134$ in France and
Germany, the worse being 1'178 $ for the UK... not fair enough! (all prices
excl. tax).

Prices in Europe have always been a little higher, but 190% is pushing it!

There is an interesting comparison at the following address: http://
www.amanwithapencil.com/adobe.html that shows the difference in pricing
between Apple and Adobe software.

Once I have gathered enough signatures, I will communicate this petition to
Adobe and to the European/Swiss commissions of competition.

In the meantime, if you can, don't purchase the upgrade, it's the best pressure
we can have...

I always thought adobe was run by a bunch of crooks. Ever tried to get support of a last year's product? They won't even talk to you, unless you pay over a wad of money, and then they can't help, imnsho from a few years back.

Best wishes,

signed it, I just bought CS2 via a freind in the US. their pricing policy for those outside the US really is unfair. Doesn't efect me right now, but that still doesn't make it right.
