It's not the charge they're concerned about, it's control; the ability to lock the content to your player or stop you skipping ads or to auto-delete the programme after 7 days or 3 viewings as not to cut into the DVD sales market. Without the ability to do that (i.e. DRM), and laws to enforce the integrity of their DRM controls, they won't sell you an unencrypted download of the latest Doctor Who episode for a million pounds. Think of it as the ideological fallout of the Reagan/Thatcher era; anything that is not monetised (which includes any right that is not either explicitly traded or withheld) is considered to be waste.
