You pay for the bandwitdth to download them. You just don't notice it unless you smash through your ISP's cap and get massively charged. And the time to download. With my connection it's faster to go buy a couple of DvD's, rather than torrent them and deal with spotty quality, inconsistent translations, and irritating fonts.
This is because of the concept of Externalities. People think that scanlations, fansubs and so on are free because they don't pay for them. But someone pays for them, its just not you the end user. And the Externalities on such things do exist, its just the proponents of "post scarcity IP" don't want to admit they exist.
