Re: Re: OT: CD Prices at CD WOW

["Mal Lansell" <mlansell@xxxxxxx>]

If you have a problem with the price of petrol, you should blame the
government.  When you take off the extortionate tax levels (supposedly to
pay for all those stupid buses and trams that no-one wants to use), our
petrol is some of the cheapest in the world.

As for the main argument - I don't what's morally wrong with a brand owner
being allowed to choose where his goods can be sold - after all it's their
brand.  You personally can still buy from abroad if you wish.
