One example: converting prices as a percentage of per capita income, a Dark Knight DVD sold in India would cost $663 in the US; A Beautiful Mind would cost $421.
Wow.
There are parallels, I guess, between this area of commerce and the response of some Indians to the refusal of international drug companies to license generics. With such a large home market, they are uniquely placed for bootlegging.
