I mean it's completely valid if you find that to be a better deal than torrenting, but I can use my full 500 mbps bandwidth for free.

It depends on how you look at it.

You pay for your internet. Isn't that you paying to pirate?

If it is then it's only a factor of cost. He pays slightly more for Usenet access and internet access and then he pirates.

If it's not then it's not a factor of cost and it's only a factor of pedantism.
