I'll go straight to the point:

Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

We live in a reality where corporation rule the world. They monopolize markets, pay little to no taxes, hold no accountability for their actions against people, communities, the environment. They cut off corners and feed you whatever bullshit is more profitable for them and this endless greed of theirs is only growing.

If you're not stealing some every-day, average Joe's work (looking at you fuckfaces who steal content and resell it on platforms like RedBubble), then piracy is always the (only) moral choice.
