> People who fall for these scams are in for a huge disappointment. Instead of gaining access to pirated movies, they are redirected to shady sites that often promise ‘free’ content in exchange for the visitor’s credit card details.

Maybe someone better versed in scams/pirating can educate me on who is this supposed to target? The typical pirate is seeking something for free, if they wanted to fork over a credit card to pay for it they probably wouldn't have gotten here in the first place. What am I missing? Does it link to some "free trial" dark pattern?
