Why pay for something which requires no resources to acquire?
If I hire a programmer I get software from the programmer's time. The programmer's time is an expended resource.
If I buy a Coke I get a bottle full of liquid. There was a loss of resources to get it me.
Once that programmer has already written the software there is no cost to duplicate it infinitely. Same with movies.
Since it requires no resources why is there a distributor? A middleman has to work hard to provide his value. Netflix does with impeccable service and high reliability. In this case Google failed. Torrents use otherwise unused bandwidth (ie no resource) and are the baseline for value that these middlemen must compete with.
I think it illuminates that you got to have/experience something without paying for it, despite the fact that the distributor wanted you to.
