Right, but this is copyright brained "lost sale" logic. Sky costs 30 EUR/mo because everyone involved in the value chain can only produce their creative works if they can charge that much. The resellers are charging 3 EUR specifically because they cut the publishers and creators of that work out of the profit. Of course you can charge 3 EUR for something you didn't have to pay for. But you could also charge nothing - you don't really have costs because you aren't paying anyone. I distinctly remember the days of P2P and BitTorrent where pirated content actually was being provided for free[0]. So in my mind, charging any amount of money for pirated content feels like a grift.
