Why does DW CS6 cost $667 in Australia but $399 in the States?

The inevitable conclusion is that it's a total rip-off.

Will just have to wait until I'm next in the States and use BlueGriffon meanwhile ...

See

and

Don't expect much to come of it in terms of price drops though.

Just a thought.

At that sort of price difference (+67%), how many copies of DW would you need to buy in-store in the States to pay for your air fare if you sell them at a reasonable price when back home? Maybe 10-15? Could Adobe enforce their trade restriction if people then used a VPN to install?
