You seem to be picking a fight with the Guardian headline rather then what she is saying in her blog. She doesn't use the word "necessary" in her blog entry at all. Maybe the Guardian did an interview with her and she used the word but that's not clear.
What she is saying is that she has used "Pirate waters" because she is being blocked from accessing content that she's legally paid for.

How do I know this? Well because, like many people in the film and TV industry, sometimes I find myself in Pirate waters. Because as an expat household, with three paid Amazon Prime memberships for three different countries, a paid Netflix membership, a paid ACORN membership, a ridiculously high DISH bill and an Apple TV box, we still can't watch most programs from back home, even though we're willing to pay good money for it.

I agree with her. She's overpaid for access to content by subscribing in multiple countries and through multiple services and she still can't access the content because of the security measures. At some point a rational person is going to say, "screw you, how do I get on Pirate Bay".
