when you pirate a show, no longer get the contractually based income related to your viewing.

The probability of that income is quite hypothetical. Most of the time, the person would never have payed for it.
Do you believe that if there was no piracy people who pirate wouldn’t watch paid entertainment?
and yet they consume it. Consuming goods and services without providing money for that is...wait for it....

stealing.

Not paying for things that they do not consume is voting with their dollars.
