I honestly don't feel like the average user cares whether the money they're paying generates an adequate profit (at best, it only has a fringe effect). Again, this is basing your business model on morality, one that is doomed to failure in the world of plentifulness that the digital realm is. At the end of the day, you can only make people consistently fork money over for things that are scarce.
So when a product, such as Steve's, is digital
only, you have a problem. My feeling on the matter is that you can only take advantage of what
will remain scarce: customers time. In other words, people will buy from you if they feel the convenience of doing so outweights the amount you're asking for.
