Just because thepiratebay.org exists doesn't mean that the sole use for it is piracy (although copyright infringement is obviously it's first usage). One can go to the pirate bay to see which TV shows are popular, judge whether you would like to watch them based on the popularity, and then go and buy the material from a reputable source.
