How is it fine for pirates to pay for a VPN to not pay for a service? (lemmy.ml)

I only use free VPN extensions or apps and I fully aware of the limitation of this. I use shabby ones, which don't protect and probably sell my data. It slow and I can't have only a few location. But I can't get around the idea that people can pay for a service to refuse to pay to a service. Please help me understand.

For me it's more of a convenience issue. If there was a legit site with a subscription for a few bucks a month that had every TV show and movie on it that I could watch in high resolution without ads and other bullshit going on then I'd probably just do that. In fact I basically do that with music already with Spotify. Netflix looked like it might have been going that way back the day but then it all went sideways.

But yeah basically I just don't want to have to subscribe to like 8 different services or have to keep switching around to find the show I want so piracy & a couple of bucks a month for a VPN is the better service IMO.
