Is anyone else worried about the price of ebooks changing daily/hourly based on market demand? Or should the end all solution be to allow the artist to set their prices however and whenever they like? (This would be akin to agency pricing)

There have been many ebooks that enter the market at a price of zero and then some time later raise their price, up to and including $9.99 once their book has garnered enough attention from the market to command such a price.

My question is, is this ethical? On the surface this definitely places a knowledge barrier between those who obtain the book for free and those who wish to obtain the book but due to the price cannot or do not.

Also, if the book is available for free at any time, should it not be available for free at all times?

"You sold the book at a price of zero, meaning you were GIVING THE BOOK AWAY, If someone else decided to share the book that you gave away, would it be right for the artist to stop them from sharing the book?"
