> Besides, there are poor ppl out there with iDevices. Did you know, that in european apple&itunes-store the prices are often the same or higher, just with a €-symbol? And that europeans earn comparable less and pay higher taxes.

If they're that poor they should probably get something more affordable. Also, complaining about taxes is best done by complaining to your local politician / MP, not by pirating apps.

@taxes

wasn't complaining, there is a price differential between US and EU electronics & media content which widens even more if one considers the lower purchasing power.

@ppl eg. get unemployed and own devices (suffering by recession anyone). Being poor is not necessarily a choice or a selfcaused taint.
