These publishers are truly vile. The move to e-books has allowed them to make bigger profits than ever, and yet they are so greedy they feel the need to price fix.

Price fixing is not a crime. Forming a cartel to fix prices is, though. There's nothing inherently wrong about fixed prices: many EU countries have fixed prices for books, and that's a government policy which has nothing to do with publishers.
