Enough of this banter. From both a legal and, more importantly, moral perspective, if one cannot see that compromising security and software in order to receive commercial programming without paying for it is theft, then there is nothing I can say beyond what I have posted on this thread to help that person achieve understanding of their malfeasance.
Wrong again. Read slowly, now. If someone broadcasts electromagnetic energy into the fabric of space, it is public property, period. I don't care if you call it commercial or not. The reason this is so is because I have no say so as to whether or not I recieve it. The signal falls on me whether I like it or not. To believe that I don't I have a right to do whatever I wish with it is just plain stupid. I suppose you believe it is possible for someone to own the air just because they make noises in it and have greased a few palms in Washington. Call it commercial all you want. If it's broadcast at everyone, it belongs to everyone.
