No, he asks why digital downloads of Cloud-free products are more expensive, and specifically not boxed copies.
Here's a transcript of the first half of the video. Hopefully, I have not made any errors in the transcription. I have tried to remove "um"s and other filler to make it read better.
Interviewer: Mr. Narayen, just a question which I know my readers are universally asking me to ask you. How can Adobe possibility justify charging up to $1,400 dollars more for the exact same software delivered in Australia, delivered over the internet with no boxed copies, compared to US prices?
Narayen: When we look at the Creative Cloud, and where the future of Creative Cloud is that is--
I: [interrupting] We're not talking about Creative Cloud...
N: [continues talking, ignoring interruption] [portion unintelligible due to interruption] --with the company. And we think that's the best offering for customers. We really believe that if you look at what we've done to pricing there, it's actually a great value to our customers, and we think that's the future of the company, and I think it's a very attractive opportunity right now in terms of pricing.
I: There's a lot of companies, a lot of individuals, who don't want to buy Creative Cloud. They want to by Creative Suite, and the Creative Suite Master Collection is $1,400 more in Australia, but how can you possibly justify that when it's delivered over the internet?
N: I think it's important to remember that the Creative Cloud is not just for individuals, we just recently announced a Creative Cloud for teams. We think that the collaboration features that you have for Creative Cloud for teams is a better opportunity even for teams and for enterprises. When you think of the combination of what we're doing with the Creative Cloud and the marketing clout [not sure]... I think the message I'm trying to send all of you is that the Creative Cloud is the future of Creative. And when you look at the value that individuals all the way to large enterprises are getting through the Creative Cloud, we think that's phenomenal value for our customers.
I: What about the versions for customers who want to buy traditional versions of Creative Suite, which is still the majority of Adobe's business. I know you're talking a little bit about Creative Cloud being the future, but if that's that case, why not harmonize the prices of your traditional software?
N: When Adobe wants to make sure we attract the next generation... I, again, the future of Creative is the Creative Cloud.
I: I'm sorry, sir. You're really not answering the question.
