I would think that many of these people will be satisfied with just torrenting that one show. Maybe this is a reflection of my personal priorities, but I will gladly pay $7.99 to watch a season of a show I enjoy (to say nothing of Netflix's other offerings). Moreover, it's much easier to retain customers than to attract them in the first place, especially with such a relatively low subscription cost.
