...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.
