You shouldn't and I don't. You're arguing against a stance I did not take. It seems most everyone here is. It's like people can't imagine a position that doesn't fall into the dichotomy of wrong or justified. It's not, it's like the actions of a chaotic neutral character.
Take a step back and read your argument. You're talking about watching Seinfeld, a pure luxury. It's not like you're starving and trying to feed your family, or protecting someone from grave injustice. You want a luxury but aren't willing to pay the price, so you take it. I have no problem with you doing so because fuck those greedy cunts, but it's not justified.
Yes it's a luxury but in a lot of 3rd countries, these luxuries help people to learn and improve their English and general soft skills.
I can see in that case there being at least mild justification. But this is not what the op is about, it's about a rich American who feels like he is being screwed by Netflix and finds pirating more convenient, so that makes it justified.
