Agree. On top of that, in Australia we often are charged more for digital content than other countries. It's insane to be overcharged when in the Aus iTunes store when you can grab a US account and get the same content for cheaper. Here is a great video from ABC show The Checkout discussing this very price gouging issue.

Yep, availability is key! Global concurrent release strategies are damn important too. Basically Aussies will pay for stuff if they can access it in a timely way instead of having to wait months and months to get TV and films that everyone on the internet is already talking about. That's what leads to major piracy and that's the big issue that needs to be resolved.
