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.

You can ask the same thing at the internet level. Why are people paying for internet service when they could go to the public library and get free Wi-Fi.

Internet service VPNs are foundational networking. You need them to do anything else.

True pirates only get their Internet from the parking lot of a BK lounge, 😂.

Have it your way! Surely they can also use long John silvers...
