> Prices for anything don't have to be justified. The market decides them. It turns out that people really want to pay those publishers, so they can charge high fees.

The market price is

- say 30 $, if you want to get a legal copy

- about 0 $, if you can accept the moral and legal dilemma

Let the market decide...

Seriously, because of the copyright laws the market is strongly skewed. I really can't understand how one can believe in free markets and copyright at the same time.
