You are not entitled to labor of someone else for free. Don't act like you're forced to pirate, if you don't want to play the price - don't watch that show! It is that simple.
The only ones acting entitled here are the copyright holder that demand that society bends over backwards to pretend that information cannot be efforlessly copied. This becomes even more insane for content that has become part of peoples culture and you still want to further profit off it.
You're not entitled to a business model. Don't act like your'e forced to live off coyright fees, if you don't want people to pirate your content - don't release it in the first place! It is that simple.
Sure, it's "wrong" but people do it anyway. It can be argued how wrong it is, eg compared to theft, but let's go with it for sake of argument.
There are many ways to fight this. One regulation and fiscalization, sure. Companies spend their private money in lobbying and governments spend public money in writing and enforcing the laws.
Another way is to turn it into a business opportunity. Steam and Spotify put a great dent in piracy, as they offer convenient services. Netflix did it briefly, but after the multiplication of streaming services and exclusives, movie and TV piracy went up again.
I'm all for the second approach - innovation and improvement of services for the consumer instead of anti-consumer regulation paid by public money.
