What's the point of paying for piracy?
Depends on your view. Some see it as a way to preserve media that could otherwise be gone forever. Some see it as a reasonable price to pay instead of paying 15 different companies hundreds per month. Others don't mind supporting the individuals and small groups who run the servers but don't want to support large corporations.

And there's no dead torrents. I could have probably added that too
