Also, there seems to be confusion about the difference between variable and fixed costs. Sure, the variable costs in adding just 1 more user to the internet, or 1 more reader of a book, or 1 more user of a piece of a software, or 1 more viewer at a movie theatre is close to zero. But the REAL cost here is the fixed costs. The creators/publishers/distributors of the medium took on enormous risk and enormous cost to provide that medium to people. They only went through with it because they counted on getting enough paying users to make it worth their while.
