Some assorted arguments:

Creative works are the shared property of humanity.

The only theft is the surplus value stolen from all the people who actually worked on the show and built the sets, roads, and layed internet cables across the ocean to make it watchable.

Statistically the largest portion of the people who pirate games, movies, and tv are poor working class people, a large portion of which are in colonized countries who built, and continue to build the infrastructure that keeps our world running. These people have had their wealth stolen from them for generations, the average salary in India cannot and shouldn't have to pay for a netflix subscription.

Donating money to the thieves isnt an effective strategy for helping workers and never will be.

Lots of media on netflix and friends is banned across arbitrary borders drawn in the sand. Using a vpn to access it is against their terms of service (or even illegal in some jurisdictions)! They don't even want your fucking money.

Tickle down economics is complete horseshit, the more money given to media companies does not mean more money given to workers. Workers are always paid the minimum viable amount under capitalism.
