I want to see it... But imagine if pirates made it so accessible it was easier to view without buying it. Saturated to the point YouTube recommends the full episodes.
Watching/playing/acquiring media without paying for it only sends the message that the demand is there; it's just that the anti-piracy enforcement schemes haven't been perfected yet.
If 100 million people watch this show on day one, but only 1 million paid to do so, the question is going to be "How can we force those other 99 million people to pay for this?" But if zero people watch this show, the immediate red flag will be "People used to love Harry Potter? Why aren't they watching it now?"
You want to show that Joanne Rowling's bigotry isn't to be tolerated? You don't show her that her content is still wanted; you shut her out completely.
How would they know that 99 million people pirated it?
They track these things.
