@Mellivora the lack of regulatory reaction against the #PriceGouging is affirming said action.

@EUCommission & @Bundesregierung could enact #PriceControls and fine the big 3 cartel members fr every overpriced module.
- They just chose not to enact a #PriceCap for #RAM & #Flash!

Well good on the Australian BTS army for calling them out. Fuck Ticketmaster. Had no idea they could withhold ticket prices - we should make this illegal.
