andygardener Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I wasn't aware there was a "human right" to steal things. Must have missed that section of the act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VideoPro Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ok so 79p for a track from itunes 21p in europe... Individual iTunes tracks are either 99 cents or 1.29 Euro in Europe. That's currently 82p and £1.06 respectively. I checked France, Belgium, Italy and Germany iTMS prices. Same pricing structure in all four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagel Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 There's a good article here by Amir Taaki on internet freedom and the threats to it - http://bitcoinmedia.com/the-future-cannot-exist-without-the-past/ You can also see him expounding these ideas on this show, from about 13 minutes in.

Forumosaurus Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I wasn't aware there was a "human right" to steal things. Must have missed that section of the act. He never said anything about stealing things, he was asking why the same things by the same company are cheaper and dearer elsewhere. And speaking of stealing, I assume you got permission from the copyright owner of the avatar you're using to use it yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVD Prices - Real Steel on Amazon.com (US) is $19.99 - in the uk its £11.99 iTunes prices are now roughly equal in Europe and the UK - there are pennies difference if any at all.
