No, it's not simpler than that
---$19.95 is perfectly acceptable, but $20? No way---

Well, people are spending thousands of dollars at the iTMS (as I recall, at the 1 year anniversary, the top customer had spent nearly $50,000 buying music). Let's multiply that nickel by 1000 and then by 50 and it starts to add up.

But the cost savings don't really matter as much as the laws of the EU. They're supposed to all be acting under open borders and the same trade laws. The iTMS pretty clearly violates those trade laws, but with apparent good reason.

Should make for an interesting case--do you eliminate the iTMS, let it stay, or change the IP laws?
