Sure they're allowed a profit. In this case it's gouging.
The reason the gouging continues is that consumers are willing to pay those prices. In a sense it's the consumer who indirectly sets the market price.
12 bucks for a CD? I think i'll wait for the greatist hits disc when it comes out, or wait until the artist's discs hits the discount rack. I love music, but not at the regular prices.
