There is nothing wrong with slapping an absurd price on a license or item. What is wrong is the legal framework that allows it for years after your death to slap a price on it. The reason it's wrong is that copyright was meant to balance the right's between consumer and creator. In the old days you had to perform or sell an item, no licenses.
