What might be a fair price in, say, Russia, might be ridiculously cheap here and unbearaby expensive in Vietnam.
Current example: www.allofmp3.com is a licensed mp3 downloads business - licensed in Russia - that is ridiculously cheap compared to the british high street or even locally licensed mp3 download businesses, and unbearaby expensive to anyone grown up with file sharing, be they in Vietnam or anywhere else. "As a basis of comparison, a typical four-minute, 128 kbit/s song downloaded from the iTunes Music Store would cost $0.99, whereas this same song at the same bitrate would cost $0.12 to download at AllofMP3.com" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_of_mp3 AllofMp3 is especially important because they tried, tried, tried, and withdrew DRM, since it totally failed, like it always will - and in December 2006 the RIAA sued them for more than Russia's entire GDP. -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
