I also have to pay for an internet connection and a computer with a suitable storage device. These materials cost money too.
That's really stretching, are you suggesting that the £9.99 for your internet connection that you used for 8 minutes to download the iso and the £60 for the 500gb hdd in your computer is 'payment' for downloading commercial software (of which none of said proceeds go to anyone who wrote the software). I'm pretty sure even you're not convinced my that argument.

This is because this value is not quantifiable
Of course it is quantifiable. It took X people Y hours to write the software, getting paid £z per hour. The bottom line is pretty much any software in those terms is a bargain.

So Mr Cheap programmer charges £20 per hour. Maya costs £2000 so that's 100 hours, which on a 39 hour week is about 2.5 weeks for one (cheap) guy to write maya?
