If anything, it's does the opposite by driving would-be legitimate buyers (well... Subscribers) into piracy.

You won't provide it to me even if I pay you, because you don't like the system I use? Fine, I'll keep my money and pirate it instead.

If purchasing isn't owning, then pirating can't be stealing.
