ORIGINAL: fitzj
European customers are getting ripped off by American software houses.
For example celemony melodyne is $699 and €699.
At todays exchange rates that makes a European customer paying $951.762
Adobe and UAD and many others doing the same.
This rip off should stop, this can be changed by not purchasing the software send an email to these companies and complain.
I was once told every letter they receive represents the voice of 4000 people.


That's not just software - it's everything (musically-related at least).

US-made Fender Telecaster (generally my focus in a music store):

Musiciansfriend.com = 999-1099 $USD
Steve's Music, Toronto Canada = 1089 $CAD
Whatever guitar shop I entered in Belfast NI last month = 1200 GBP
Whatever guitar shop I entered in Dublin, ROI last month = 1100 EUR

The numbers don't seem to vary much, even though the currency conversions are way off.
That's life.
