You're preaching to the choir, and at the same time, banging your head against [the studio's] brick wall. They see more money in exclusive deals and that's all they care about; not getting the creator's work to a wider audience at a fair and reasonable profit margin.
I don't obtain pirated shows, but I do wonder if it's the people that do that will eventually bring the studios to their senses. After all, it was pirating that woke the music industry up and forced them into providing reasonably priced, legal streaming music services.
