A reasonable fee in one country might be completely unreasonable in another. Or between two people. Internet is basically free to provide, the cost per month is entirely dependent on the average salary of a system administrator in the region. Entry level PCs are also not very expensive. This all means you can get Internet access for a reasonable price wherever you live. There is also the fact that file sharing is just better than buying. If I torrent a movie, I get the best version, with no region locking, no drm, which I can copy to any device. If the service goes away, or the Internet is down, I can still watch my movie just fine. For practical purposes, I actually own files I download, but don't own files I pay for.
