Worth is often determined by the price people are willing to pay to enjoy it but that is unrelated to the cost of making a copy. Years may go into the development but in your mind since it can be copied for zero cost is value approaches zero as well.

Okay, Dale. Why don't we define "value," "worth," and "cost" for the purposes of this discussion, so we're not all just tripping over confused semantics?
