I worked for Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals for a few years in
   the late years and early 2000s.

   I didn't just see the International Price Sheets, I worked with
   them (I was their excel guy for business and information
   services and had to mickey mouse data so it looked pretty for
   the higher ups and 4000+ sales reps around the USA in every
   district). I had a once a year report I had to do involving
   International sales and I had all the figures.

   Anyway, I'll say no more except this: Businesses are not
   non-profit organizations. They should not be expected to be.
   Their ethics come from whatever won't bring up a lawsuit, which
   includes complying with government regulations and societal
   standards.

   I don't fault business for behaving this way. It's how things
   are in a capitalist society and I don't see it changing, so it's
   silly to complain unless one really thinks they can put a nick
   into capitalism.

   That being said, we *can* coerce the "powers that be" to change
   the rules governing restrictions to industry. Private lawsuits
   aren't worth much for individuals but that's another
   possibility.*

   Public shame is another method. Much faster but its
   effectiveness is typically limited to a case-by-case basis.

   But otherwise? All we can do is complain and go, "yeah they suck
   boo". But really, they're behaving properly given the restraints
   they're allotted.
