why not just buy from the US?

elliot: The license bought from the US is not valid in the EU.

…and Adobe don’t deliver to UK from US

If you want to support fair software pricing, don’t spend money with Adobe ;o)

FYI, I think the license is perfectly valid in that it will work just fine. It’s what’s called grey-market at that point. Adobe may not SUPPORT that license, but there’s no reason you can’t install and run it wherever you want to.

Why do you think a company which sells its products for different prices in different countries is cheating those that get the higher price?

Surely a business has the right to determine the prices it asks for its products?

Nick: I agree, still I can’t figure out why I can’t purchase the software from the US and download it. There’s no extra cost for Adobe.

If Europeans want better prices, they need to stop buying stuff at higher prices. The reason Europe, Australia, and Japan pay so much more for stuff than Americans is because you guys grumble a lot, and maybe send the European Commission out to do a little legal harassment, but in the end you still buy the software. When companies try jacking up prices in the US we just buy elsewhere. Don’t complain about price discrimination if you’re eventually just going to buy the software regardless.
