the commercials that have already been paid to the company are still showing, so that ad revenue is still being capitalized.

That's not how it works though. You are not accounted for watching the ads over a pirate stream...

Regardless, there are still commercials

I somewhat doubt that a company counts illegal viewers and charges more for ads because of them. So the actual broadcaster probably gets nothing.
