No, I don't blame the Agency 6, or Apple. They're responsible for the e-book pricing, obviously, but they're not responsible for people abusing the system. That shifts the blame unjustifiably. People need to open their eyes and realize what the review and rating system is for: It's for people who've already come to terms with the book's price to get a review of the book's content. The only people who care about the book's price is the people writing the fake reviews, not the people reading them.

As I said before, it's like kids peeing in the pool: It's not illegal, but it certainly isn't helping.
