Now they can and do because Congress passed an exemption for them. So I do not think the prices charged for eBooks are out of line compared to other businesses.

I cannot see how that makes any of it right and fair.
There are many greed based situations in this world, which is why the rich get richer and smaller in number and the poor poorer and greater in number.
