possessing a copy of them, sure. ownership is a legal construct that doesn't really matter that much to me.

If buying something doesn't mean you own it, then pirating something doesn't mean you stole it! As long as there is a subscription fee, take the justifiable torrent option to choose to pay ZERO. The only way is not to pay!

Legally speaking, piracy is not theft. It’s copyright infringement.
