At least a part of the problem is that Adobe US will not willingly sell to an Australian. Actually, I don't know about Adobe, but that's the general problem they're trying to address. Companies are getting their US distributors to agree not to sell to Australians as part of their distribution agreement, specifically to stop Australians from getting them from overseas.
