ACCC is fucking awesome
The Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) has told a parliamentary inquiry that consumers’ use of illegal download sites to access content is a backlash against suppliers.
The ACCC said illegal downloading methods were well-known to many consumers in Australia and are having an impact on supplier strategies. According to the ACCC, this illegal downloading is putting “competitive tension in the market”.
“At the end of the day, some of these responses in the market may well end up being a reasonably powerful backlash by consumers against what might be perceived as unfair conduct by suppliers,” an ACCC spokesperson told the inquiry
The advice by Choice magazine covered earlier this week is pretty great also. Fuck you IT suppliers who have been gouging us on price for so long.
