Some content, e.g. Netlfix, has DRM that limits the quality that you can view in certain browsers/operating systems.
As another example, a DVD/blu-ray sources are often significantly higher quality than what streaming services offer, so if you have a choice to watch some movie on Netflix or a pirated blu-ray copy, the pirated copy will often be higher quality than Netlify while being more convenient than blu-ray.
It in unclear though how you could possibly get higher quality than the best quality that the source offers.

Also, stolen/leaked masters and stems are a thing.
Even in the old analog scene, people trade master tapes that are higher quality than commercial available sources.
WHAT did Napster replace??? You're full of it, dude. Napster f*cked the scene badly. I guess you weren't involved in the goings on back then. But then why make such ridiculous comments?! We will probably never get the truth on that one. Anyone who spends 3 (no, 6!) hours downloading a single song, Barney at that, and then says that the master copy is WORSE than the pirated copy is a f'ing hilarious ding bat. Enjoy tpb
