Adobe can charge what they can, because it is aimed at professionals.
They basically give away Elements for the mum and dad brigade to make minor edits to their family photographs and travel snapshots.
People who actually make a living out of photography aren't complaining. At the end of the day, it's an expense, and, likely tax deductible.

That about sums it up, problem is whats going to happen with university's and license fees? My copy's are well yer.. and thats how it should be for non-pro users, it blows my mind when people buy full retail copy's and update on a reg basis and there only home users. I do the same with auto cad, I only use it for fun and there's no way i'am forking out for a retail copy when i'am just playing around with ideas to pass the time.
