Petition Make Adobe's downloadable products the same price in the UK as it is in the US and other markets
More details
I would like the government to tackle Adobe on it's aggressively non-US biassed pricing of it's subscription only products, namely Creative Cloud. The software is the same as the US version, including non-English spellings (e.g. color).
Creative Cloud full subscription is US$49.99 or £46.88 (which is roughly US$75.60 or about 50% higher).
The Australian government successfully forced Adobe to price their downloadable products the same as they are the US, a drop from AU$74.99 to AU$49.99.
Here is one article: http://cnet.co/Y9RHyK
Adobe's original answer to the Australians was "If you want cheaper software, fly to the US". This isn't an option with downloadable software.
