I dont understand what the issue is with what I said. The only cost for obtaining digital content is a few clicks of a mouse. I dont mean that the seller thinks the value is 0, I mean that the consumer does. Add piracy to the mix (a few extra clicks) and everything digital can be free. I am not defending this state of affairs, just stating it.
