Art takes time, money and creativity to make. Of course that’s going to be more expensive than downloading something someone else made and printing it out. Accounting for the time and costs that go into making art isn’t a high markup, it’s being paid for your labour.

Well, kinda. Their cost of production is lower partly because they don’t have to pay an artist enough to feed themselves.
