There's are two subtle differences:

1). Since DirectTv broadcasts it content, it costs them the same amount if one person or one million people are using their services. In the case of a paysite, bandwidth and server load is proportional to the number of users.

2). Again since DirectTv signals are broadcast, decoding the signal would take place on the end users property and exclusively use the end users equipment. In the case of a paysite, there is no way to circumvent the access controls without interacting with the remote server.

That being said, if you're clever enough to get around the access controls of a porn website, more power to you. The porn site shouldn't sue you, they should develop better security.
