I pay for a VPN and don’t use it for piracy.
I pay for Usenet and I use it for piracy.

If you want to know why I pirate stuff you can thank Mediacom, after becoming nearly homicidal talking to their “tech support” line for 2 years (I was locked in a 2 year contract), I decided to never pay directly for media again.
12 years and counting
