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

When you purchase digital media, you’re purchasing a method to get past DRM to access the content. Nothing more.
When you pirate digital media, you’re using other means to acquire a method to get past DRM to access the content. Nothing more.
We’ve decided arbitrarily that some methods of getting past DRM are better than others despite the result being the same.
You can’t purchase digital media. All you’re allowed to purchase is a revokable license to consume it under some corporation’s terms.
