So they make money on the shows being watched, and they save money in a variety of ways, by not doing things the regular/normal/legal ways.

..it's actually pretty smart of them to just let it happen.

Technically, anytime you're accessing the media in a way that isn't provided or approved by the copyright provider it's considered piracy.
