I find it strange that you used the "cost of doing business" arguement.  
You see, the website owner IS WILLING to pay for his content to be
delivered.  It seems that there are a lot of providers out there who are
unwilling to pay the toll for that content to enter their network and be
delivered to their customer -- the person who is paying them to do just
that -- pass 1's and 0's from endpoint to endpoint, WITHOUT TAMPERING WITH
THEM!!!
