MODERATORS
It serves to get their name/content out there to more people who would otherwise not have been interested in paying for it initially. For instance, you may be more willing to pirate a game than to buy it without knowing you'll be interested, but after playing it, you may decide it's worth buying.
Also, in areas where legal means to watch just fucking suck, piracy can increase the amount of fans interested in things like merchandise.
