Content holders should have a monopoly over their creative work they choose to create to sell for profit.
Nothing is stopping anyone from creating content and giving it away for free.
But if they choose not to, and choose to create the content for profit, then they have a right to have a monopoly over that content. If it's good enough that people want to enjoy it, they have to compensate them at the current price.
If the price is too high, do without, wait for price drops, check it out from the library instead of buying etc. etc. Being priced too high for your liking or budget, doesn't justify getting a copy without paying for it.
