And yet, in the US there are $1 albums. Gotta love that Australia Tax.
That’s to do with the licencing in Australia, not a ‘tax’ implemented by Google. Google’s rights to sell music from record labels wildly differs between the different countries in the world. Blame the record companies – not Google. Same reason why iTunes US and iTunes Australia have very different prices, and the same reason why physical CD’s cost MUCH more here than in the US also.
I should’ve been more clear, I’m not accusing Google of gouging us, but the media industry in general.
I agree. It sucks.
He quite clearly didn’t blame Google. He quite obviously blames it on the ‘Australia Tax’ which appears to be the exact same that you are talking about .
