"...Your particular interpretation of the fees being applied is wrong. A Tax or Duty is applied under Law. In other words, the governments state these things need to be charged.

You point me to somewhere that my feeble little Australian mind can be "educated" with proof that it costs CL more for me to download a copy of Poser 6 than it does for an American, and I'll gladly admit I'm wrong. (And I don't mean passing the blame to Digital River. If I hire a crook to sell my wares, I'm still responsible.)
