Comment on Jonathan Coulton vs. Gleeparent

Credit in this case means attribution. Pirate sites don't say "I made Game of Thrones" or rename it and try to pretend it's their own work. They present it as "This movie, released by whatever-group". People get far more upset about "stealing" attribution than copyright infringement.

That's a nice way of self justifying piracy. I'm sure content creators get just as pissed when people don't pay for their work too when they are asking you to do so.
