I believe that Apple's defense of the charge is that it offsets the costs of the bandwith they are paying for to host the trailers. If 10 million people are downloading the Star Wars trailer off their site, that costs them something.
Whether that justifies the price they charge, I won't debate, but that is, at least in part, the reason for the charge. Hey, they're a business. There is no moral reason thay should not charge to provide you with something of value.
