I'd like to see figures to back that up. I don't have figures at hand to refute it, but I know that cannot be correct. The marketing and lobbying they do here is needed BECAUSE of much lower prices in places like Canada, lack of reasonable patent protections in many countries, and free rides for Third World countries, etc...
