Why are Euros charged six bucks more for their DVDs than their Yankee counterparts? The EU thinks it’s a conspiracy by the Studios, and what’s more, the EU has the power to really kick ’em in the nuts if it turns out that the Studios have been up to backroom price-fixing shenanigans.

If it found concrete evidence that price fixing was taking place it has the power to fine companies a maximum of 10 % of their annual turnover and force them to change their ways.
