It is of benefit to customers to be gouged whilst buying "Creative

Methinks not, but maybe I am not of their future market.

Look at http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/adobe-chief-dodges-questions-over-pricing-20130214-2eetr.html for evidence that even Adobe's CEO (despite some mind-boggling verbal diarrhoea) doesn't actually have a clue why it costs us twice as much to buy his software than it costs his customers in other countries.  He seems to be saying we're lucky because of some sort of "marketing benefit" we get from being gouged.
