In Reply to: What they charge is their business! posted by Rich on June 02, 1999 at 14:50:20:
Pricing of cable is indeed rediculous ... and 30$ for basic is unethical in areas where there is no competition. And in most apartments you will can subscribe to the only cable serivce provider. Thats not to say stealing of signals is fine ...But isn't it funny that the increase in cable changes has come about when the satellite network is expanding like never before (because of fcc ruling prohibiting apartment owners from prohibiting dishes) !
...either, but it is obviously wrong to steal entertainment programming because we think the price is too high! I think the price of a Mercedes coupe is too high...is it okay for me to steal it? I think my phone, electricity, gas and water prices are too high...should I steal those services? I'd steal food to eat if I was starving, but the logic these eletronic thieves use to justify theft of non-essential services is ridiculous.
If you steal that Mercedes, there is 1 less Mercedes available for the
dealer to sell. If you steal phone service, there is a miniscule amount
of communications bandwidth that cannot be sold to others. The same
idea holds true for the electric, gas, and food.If you steal a cable signal, NO ONE loses any product. The only thing
lost is profit.
