Piracy isn't stealing. Stealing deprives someone else of something. Piracy doesn't deprive anyone else of access, it creates wider access. That's copyright infringement, not stealing. If there's no restrictions, then how is it illegal? What problems can there be? The rest of this doesn't make a ton of sense.

Unless you're watching your shows on Netflix, or other commercial streaming services, then you're committing piracy too. 'Streaming' a show is just downloading it and them immediately deleting it. Piracy is downloading/making a copy of a piece of media that you're not licensed to copy. It doesn't become less illegal because you delete it. If you're against piracy then you should not be streaming content that you haven't paid for.

If they use free streaming, tell them that's also piracy. (It really is) 😅 But actually don't. They don't sound like they came to these conclusions through rational reasoning so they prolly won't be convinced by rational argument. Keep it to yourself and coexist. You can run a homelab as VM on your personal computer if you have one. Then there's no "other" computer for them to suspect. 😂
