Ask HN: Help stop Adobe's abuse of European customers

Just checked the price for a CC subscription in Europe. It's €61,49 per month. That's $80.

Since the announcement, I assumed the price would be the usual US price translated directly in Euros, e.g €50. That would still be an abuse (at $64.35) but more tolerable.

There's some discussion all around the Web and on Adobe forums, like here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4648281 where Adobe stuff give BS excuses like taxation (hint: there's no tax or overhead anywhere in Europe that can amount to a $30 dollar hike, that is a 60% price increase).

I believe that an EU fine for abusing monopoly pricing would bring Adobe to it's senses. Can HN people help get this started? How do we report such cases to the EU?
