Because they created the content. Bad business decision? Maybe....but you are the consumer not the creator or owner of the work.
The creator/owner of the work has every right to market to whomever they wish.
If you wish to write a book and sell it for .50 then by all means, go right ahead. If you wish to write a book and sell it for $25.00 then by all means, go right ahead.
I just spent $40 after shipping on a Hardback copy of The Starter by Scott Sigler, $35 for the book, $5 for the shipping.
I don't do this often, almost never, but I enjoy his work, and his personal interaction between him and his fans (it's all the time by the way, every day), means more to me than the price, he makes us the readers fell like we MATTER.
