Obviously it depends on the details, but outside of "here just click this link" pirating, I see it as an activity that requires some skill, knowledge and a willingness to keep current as in most cases, a pirated service for shows, movies, sports isnt simply a one and done ordeal. I feel likel my saving some level of $ due to my skill, knowledge, and willingness to stick with it (changing software, updating software, having the correct ISP, premium billing changing countries) is fair. Such a small % of the population have these attributes that like with most large companies, there is always an expected margin of write off.
There are times that out of convenience, I will simply pay for services. The last few years I turn on Hulu Live TV for the football season as it covers most games. Hell, at times I will hook up my 3 foot wide antennae so I dont havw the delay (I live less than a mile and a half from the stadium).
And one of, if not the most beneficial reasons I have my set up, is to access old stuff. If you want to watch all of Star Trek: Next Gen right now, you can find it after some hunting. I type in the search bar.
Not without it's own investment costs. I have multiple media PCs set up around the house at $350 a pop. I have to avoid certain ISPs who tattle *cough*Spectrum*cough*. I also pay an offshore 'company' for premium sourcing. Then of course all the PC maintinence and reconfigurations when Interpol get lucky.
I am in the write off margin. Technically not, as I appears as simply a non-customer. I grew up poor and watched Adelphia --> Spectrum just rip people off for half my life. I also do not share/teach/provide to others. The more that can do the thing, the wider the margin gets.
I believe I have written this in a way that does not offend the terms of service of the site. No links and no info that could be used to do illegal things, but if I have that wrong, please delete.
