You would be considered to be stealing from the rights holder.
The rights holder authorises your use of their property when you pay the license fee. If you don’t pay the license fee you are considered to be stealing their property.

Legally speaking they’re not going after you solely for piracy pretty much ever, at least not in America, unless you’re making a profit from it.
Of course it isn’t. Copyright laws were written by the same kind of people who decided that corporations gets to “people.”
