Still, I wouldn't call that piracy at all.
As a non subscriber they open their door to you, offer you a counter and tell you you can lurk anything until the counter say you have to leave or pay. But that counter only really work if you accept to put batteries inside and turn it on and nobody is really bothering to check.
Also they chose to use drug dealers methods knowing very well that network effects will make you knock at their door on a regular basis.
Choosing to ignore that counter would be unethical/rude the same way taking photo in a museum that prohibit them is. But none of this is piracy.
