Insignificant? obviously you have no idea how much bandwith VOD/PPV/HD streams use.
SD VOD standards average 2-3mbit, as far as I'm told. Very few pirate boxes are HD compatible, so not an issue.

Let me guess, your also one who believes people with cloned modems also have no effect on the network right?
No, that clearly does have an effect. Different issue, though.

To say they have no effect, if you worked at VM you'd know half the over subscribed area's are from people stealing the services.
It's up to VM to disconnect feeds going to non-subscribers. If someone has a minimum subscription, the bandwidth capacity used by a dodgy box is not an issue.

Final verdict: No effect.
