But what makes anyone think it's ok to pirate just because the cable companies are idiots?
In all the years and all the discussions I've seen and been part of....I've never heard/seen anyone ever say that "it is ok". No one says "it's ok". Anyone that does it, should already understand what it means to do it. It's just like smoking. No one ever says smoking is "ok". This is the wrong question to ask. All I'm saying is that there is a much larger picture here and the moral question of downloading anything using any method amounts to nothing more than manipulation and obfuscation.
