The existence of a gray market should keep the local distributor (and Adobe's region-specific) pricing down though. If it goes too high, then people will favor the gray market.
So yes - local prices may be higher. But not that much higher.
The gray market doesn't depend on contract law, since an unauthorized distributor should be free to buy up inventory however it can (eg. pose as a customer). But this doesn't work with software, and that's the problem.
