Well the people producing the player software are the ones who should be paying.
The same would go with any free DVD player software on Macs or Windows.
Buy a new DVD drive for Windows and get a "free" copy of WinDVD? It's included in the price of the drive, and in that price is the fee for the licensing of all the technologies involved, from DVD decryption to simply reading the DVD by the drive.

I know you're not meaning it, but you're basically saying "I've bought this DVD, and I should have a free dvd device to play this"
