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.

I pay 90€ a year for a vpn with high speeds that I actually don't use that often.

However I can download games worth a thousand Euros (and don't play them) with that vpn.

However when torrenting I need a vpn since uploading is prosecuted in my country.

If you want to download illegal stuff you can do that here with direct Downloads. Your chances of being caught are so slim that most people don't need a vpn.

My most usage I have from the vpn is that I chan change ip addresses on the fly. Some Websites or Services don't work for Europe and then I use the vpn. Or some Services block usage for your IP then changing it without restarting the Router is useful.

I don't care about encryption, privacy and shit.
