4.99 USD a month for unlimited? It's 4.99 GBP a month in the UK, which is more like 8.00 USD. That's not fair!

1:1 pricing aside, it's very good news that they're launching in the US.

Remember we don't have VAT here, so that's what, a 25%, 30% difference right there?

They also probably have completely different licensing deals, there's a bigger market, etc.
