Really you pay for convenience and legallity. Not everyone knows how to or feels comfortable pirating. With a service you know you aren't breaking any laws and you're not worried about quality, storage, captions, and sketchy files.
It's funny how hard it is for providers to get this concept. I feel we're about to enter the cycle where we see an uptick in mainstream piracy because the price is starting to outweigh the convenience and legality.
