I don't see how it can work, but it would help considerably if they actually cited some examples of over-pricing, what the market is like there, the competitors' prices, etc.
Usually having multiple software vendors/makers guarantees competition, and if that isn't happening, then price-fixing is probably going on behind the scenes, which is something else they can get nicked for (at least in the UK, I imagine most countries have an equivalent law).
The article then goes on to talk about music CDs, DVDs, etc. - I think at least in the UK that CD album prices are kept artificially inflated [price fixed] by the music industry. Initially the industry said the price was high because CD technology was new, but now it isn't.
