Showing my age here but I can remember when paperback books cost $0.45. Also when penny post cards cost 3 cents.

On your other issues, you may be right, but is\f so, you are "dead right". Sometimes (we hope always) laws follow morality. Unfortunately we live more by this version of the golden rule - "Those who have the gold make the rules." So the publishers make the rules on copyright.

IMHO an even more pertinent example of legal vs moral is satellite TV/radio. They have the "legal right" to bombard me with their signal with no regard to any possible adverse consequence to me but I don't have the "legal right" to do anything with that signal without their permission (i.e. paying them). High voltage power lines are another example.
