Non-Discriminatory Treatment of Digital Products

I ran into this today, essentially by way of the FTA it means that no US company can *not* delay the sale/release of digital products to the AU based on geography or *any* other reason.

So Steam (for eg) cannot release a game to AU later than the US, and potentially Microsoft cannot release Windows 7

Didn't we sign this agreement with the US a few years ago? And aren't we still getting screwed in terms of release dates?...

Yes and yes.
But now I am aware of that article I can at least be armed with it's info!
