People in Asian countries do not make nearly as much as Americans do. If you take the price for software or whatever else as a percentage of their salary, it will turn out that they actually pay more.

Funny, a lot of people are starting to notice that a lot of business
have one price for USA, and another much lower price for the same item
in other countries.  Microsoft is trying to sell its software for way
less than it does here in Asian countries.  Regionalized DVD's, the
below article mentions prescription drugs.  What next?  How long will
consumers in the global economy put up with it?  Very interesting.
