NO, NO, NO, NO!!!   If you think something is too expensive, DON'T BUY IT!
If enough people complain (by not purchasing, and maybe by writing the
publisher) about the price, maybe the publisher will lower it.  Same principle
as with any other product.  But if you want the program, you should either
pay the price or do without.
