So, as you said, it works both ways.

We see high prices as the evilness of publishers. I've seen many eBooks going for more then the cost of buying the paper copy. Now if that is not wrong, what is? That is what causes us to want the people in charge to get stuffed. Same goes for those who think it is a good idea to give PDF as a free giveaway. They can go get stuffed too. These are they people we want to end up cleaning toilets for a living.
