Yeah, why do I have to pay for things like a car and what not? They all come from publicly accessible goods. Bunch of scammers.

Maybe the question is not why you have to pay for your car, but why you _do not_ have to pay to view information via a website, store a copy of this in RAM and/or save a copy using secondary storage. Why is it typically "free" for you to do that?
