It does sound to me like they are still confusing price with value. Price is determined by supply and demand, and what the market is willing to pay. Incidentally, how is digital supply anything different to infinite supply? Digital should be priced accordingly, but that is another issue.
Value is completely different and is next to impossible to measure with any degree of accuracy as it is a personal thing. I have bought many e-books priced at 99p (and even free on Amazon) but the value I place on my enjoyment I got from these books is...well I cannot really put a figure on that.
1 Brag about monitoring Al Qaeda emails
2 Al Qaeda takes measures to encrypt and anonymise their activity
3 Use this to justify attacks of encryption and anonymising services
If we want to clean up politics, we need to require all politicians to give up private financial interests, consultancies, directorships etc when they get elected to office.
To be fair, it isn't just the US government that has been bought by the corporations. The UK government has been well and truly bought as well, as the sell off of public services will show.
