Here in Norway we pay $1357 (adobe.com) for Photoshop CS3, in the states you pay $ 649. (adobe.com)
The copy is exactly the same. English language.
If I want the norwegian version I have to pay $ 1843.
Why?

That's because they are a greedy American corparation and you don't speak there language (our language really but they fucked it up a lot!) so you must pay!
You just reminded me of something that pisses me off. All the old installations used to have a choice that said "International English", but not now... You just have "English", which is the one with all the wrong spellings!

How about the greedy Norwegian government taxing imports to pay for bleeding heart liberal social programs. Gee, I can think of a few other European countries with similar problems. Americans take it in the A$$ letting products from all over the globe flood our markets virtually un-taxed. Our exports are marked up 200% from greed/taxation.
Swedish drug manufacturers sell drugs in America at extreme profits. Those profits totally finance healthcare in Sweden. Grandma can eat dogfood as far as the Sweede's are concerned.

You are wrong Janetdog, the US is a highly import protected country. If you live outside of it's borders that's as plain as day.
They also like manipulating smaller 3rd World countries around the World by means of the IMF. I'm sorry Corporate America Stinks to high heaven!

While most of us are well aware of the 'extended' possibilities of torrents, I don't think it's very appropriate to 'help' people with this...
Especially not on a site with sponsors that are (sometimes) willing to provide their products as prices...
just my 2 cents
