Unfortunately pirating online games isn't really a thing. Though there are few online ganes worth playing nowadays

For those who don't know, you can play pirated games online if the game supports LAN connectivity.

Use something like Haguichi for Linux or Hamachi for Windows to create a virtual LAN that allows you to play with friends over the internet.
