Digital content and services are no different than real world content and services. You do not walk into a grocery store expecting everything to be free. Why would you expect all digital content to be free?

The internet is not some strange medium that is outside the realm of profit-seeking capitalism; among other things, it is a convenient way to provide services and content, sometimes requiring payment, and I see no problem with that.
