This is piracy

Not true.

Cider 2.0+ is a paid product and not FoSS therefore should not be distributed via the AUR.

I fail to see what it is being distributed. The PKGBUILD has not directly link to the deb file, in fact, you need to acquire it first in order to make a package. Hint: see this line source=("file://cider_${pkgver}_amd64.deb") (it should use local:// instead but that's not the point)
