This is a terrible argument. Or do you have some other way to explain the rampant piracy of the Humble Indie Bundle? Or World of Goo? Or Minecraft, for that matter. The fact that cheap, DRM-free games are routinely pirated inconveniently precludes your claim.

Value is far too subjective, and that's before factoring in personal greed and entitlement.
