How is it fine for pirates to pay for a VPN to not pay for a service? (lemmy.ml)

I only use free VPN extensions or apps and I fully aware of the limitation of this. I use shabby ones, which don't protect and probably sell my data. It slow and I can't have only a few location. But I can't get around the idea that people can pay for a service to refuse to pay to a service. Please help me understand.

I would add that the original understanding for cable tv and every service since was you pay a set fee and get some specialized content along with specialized content others would be interested in and the $$ is pooled to allow this. These companies keep subdividing services and subscriptions and thereby charging specifically for the specialized content. They broke our contract when they did this.
