I don't subscribe to the logic but I guess a part of it can be the lossless factor. Quality of pirated digital content is exactly like the original. If you tape something it usually loses quality. So people seem to care less about that kind of piracy. Which is stupid since going for lossy compressed pirated videos is allegedly not less wrong in the face of law.
Let's get crazier.
Our current favorite show is Bob's Burgers, it's a comfort show we fall asleep to. Prior to signing up with real debrid I got tagged for downloading a 2 year old episode.
We pay for Hulu. We pay for YoutubeTV. We have a working OTA antenna (for when the internet goes out).
My math says I have 3 licenses, yet still illegal to download?
The law is a sham and it doesn't deserve anyone's respect.
The whole "illegal to download" bit is somewhat misleading. People almost always get in trouble for uploading, which just happens to be a part of how bittorrent works. When you're downloading, you're also uploading (Unless you've changed your settings).
