I was wondering how some of the companies can get away with charging different prices in various parts of the world. For example, doesn't m$ have super low prices for their stuff in china? How could that not be considered discrimination against US users?

This is the flip side of outsourcing. If it's ok for a company to outsource jobs to a different country to lower production costs, then it's ok for me to buy software from a different country to lower my acquisition costs.

Companies have been trying to sidestep it with DRM to enforce region pricing. But in the end the two are the same thing. You cannot be simultaneously for a global economy (outsourcing) while against a global economy (region limits).
