Comment Social responsibility? Try price discrimination! (Score 1) 115
Are movie theatres looking out for kids when they charge less? Are airlines feeling sympathetic towards vacation travelers when they charge them less than business folk? Are senior citizens given discounts at museums, restaurants, and elsewhere because these places truly care about the elderly?
Or...
Can Microsoft make more profit by charging charities less because 1) it's dirt cheap to supply another copy of software thus they still make a profit off of this group, 2) charities are willing to pay less so it's more profitable to charge them less and 3) licensing agreements forbid these companies reselling the software at a higher price.
This is called > in economics, not "good corporate social responsibility". Give me a break.
