Why is sheet music so expensive?

Question:

Why is sheet music so expensive?

Sometimes i wish i just had access to a wealth of sheet music so i could practice the songs i want to practice, but it always want, 22 dollars for a song or something like that... i call that outrageous!

Specially considering the volks have been dead for years.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It's not, you just have to know where to look.

Download MidiNotate player (it's free)
http://www.notation.com/midinotateplayer...

Then you can open midis and the MidiNotate will automatically write the midi out as sheet music for you and then it is printable. It will also play them for you and you can read along the sheet music as it highlights the notes.

I have found that http://www.hamienet.com/ has the best selection of midis especially of musicals.
