Again, because the content you downloaded is not the same item as the content you bought in the store (as proven by the fact that you can play one without touching the other). They are two distinct entities, and you are required to pay for both.
People have a hard time accepting speed limits, too. However, when car accidents and deaths result, people decide to accept police action, ie, ticketing speeders, in the name of public safety.
People also have a hard time accepting having to pay for something they want. But when they realize that anarchy helps society not a bit, they accept the fact that things should be paid for, for the sake of an ethical society.
You can keep arguing for free stuff and anarchy all you want, but the fact is that the rest of society has already voted you down. Get used to paying for stuff.
