They could as a voyeur, but the idea is that those who are there legitimately collectively decide which path to follow. At the time I proposed the idea Lost was a popular show, and one of the things that the fans did was to minutely analyze all the scenes to find hints. So if there was a decal on a crate in the background, for instance, that was something that was significant to the Lostheads.
I thought, what if those elements were easter eggs that revealed more deep background or plot twists that revealed dimensions that people following the main story line wouldn't be privy to? See, if you were watching the episode on a tablet and tapped on the element you noticed, and enough other viewers did (to meet some threshhold), the whole audience would be taken down the rabbit hole for the backstory or sub-plot. You could weave stuff in and out of that superstructure almost without limit.
So the question for the pirates would be, how do you rip that off? Because if you watched the episode with one audience who voted differently than the last time it aired, then you'd not get the same rip. It would be like copying one facet of the diamond and trying to pass it off as the whole thing.
