Legally, it is not, but I get your sentiment.
I would like to say piracy against the big guy also hurts the little guy making the content you like.
I am all for pirating that scientific journal and that college book but there is a reason writers, artists, and the people making a shit amount of money for the work they put into the things we love.
I won’t support something that hurts a regular person giving me the things I like to watch, but I get your sentiment.

That reason has nothing to do with piracy. Take all the money lost off of just one employee and the company and the employee is still whole… The CEO.
Rent seeking greed is the reason the little guy can’t make things not piracy. Always has been. Don’t get it twisted.
