1. It’s morally good when people access information, culture, and entertainment.
2. It’s morally good when the author of a work gets rewarded by their work.

Piracy is morally justified when 1 is a more pressing matter than 2. As such, it’s justified in situations like this:

• If, in the absence of piracy, the pirate would still not pay for the goods - because #2 is set up to zero (the author of the work is not rewarded anyway).
• If it’s impossible to obtain the goods without piracy. For example, abandonware.
• If the author of the work would get breadcrumbs of the money used to access legally the goods, and the pirate compensates the author directly (e.g. donation).

Like others I’ve seen been torrenting my episodes instead, but man… I miss the convenience.

Don’t get me wrong - torrents are great, but for me they’re the best when I want to binge watch a complete series and/or keep it indefinitely. I’m typically following ~10 series/season = episodes/week; I need to find the series in a certain torrent site, then download it, watch it, seed it… it’s a bit of a bother, you know.
