Then your seo strategy is better than theirs.
Illegal full-length content isn't the end-all be-all of rankings and traffic, it's just a large competitive advantage.
Compare it to professional sports:
site concept = innate talent
business plan = technique
working hard = training hard
moment of entry = starting age
stolen content = doping
Doping gives a major edge, but if the other factors are missing it won't be enough. Without talent, training and technique you'll probably never become a world-class athlete. Likewise, without a good concept, a good business plan and hard work, you'll probably never develop a successful site.
However, just like illegal doping, stolen content can put you ahead of the competition if you get the other stuff right as well.
