Can you say "we're already paying for the mail service, why should we pay
twice?"? Can you say "We're quite willing to pay for access to a reliable
service for things like this... in fact we're already doing so."?

I can. Because we are.

Playing games with half a dozen archive servers, trying to talk one of them
into copying software in, and so on... it's insane. I get better service
from the public library system, and I'm not a paying customer (except in as
much as I'm a taxpayer... but let's not get into tax subsidized networks).
