So.....

Because some people are already doing illegal things that makes it ok for other people to do it as well?

Nah, don't buy that.

I think, and I'm sure the other like-minded people on CF that share my point of view on this will forgive me for being blunt, what it actually boils down to is this:

There are some thieving, low-life, no-good, ignorant, disrespectful, arrogant, stupid, morons who are stealing services that other people are paying for.

Other thieving, low-life, no-good, ignorant, disrespectful, arrogant, stupid, morons find out that this is happening (because the original thieving, low-life, no-good, ignorant, disrespectful, arrogant, stupid, morons brag about it like idiot kids after their first alcoholic experience) and decide to prove that they're thieving, low-life, no-good, ignorant, disrespectful, arrogant, stupid, morons, by doing the same thing.

But.....they seem to have missed the fact that just because someone's a low-life, no-good, ignorant, disrespectful, arrogant, stupid, moron, doesn't make it ok for them to be a thief.

Really? Wow

That's great!!

I'll call Future-Mrs-Raistlin and tell her we can stop paying Income Tax, Council Tax, Car Tax, VAT, Duty on Fuel, Stamp Duty, Inheritence Tax, and tax on our savings.....after all, we'd still be paying for one service (the NHS and our pensions through NI contributions) so why should we have to pay for the rest?

Sorry, but if anybody thinks that because they've been generous enough to get a subscription to the lowest package that a provider does (never mind kind enough to pay for telephone rental, and conscientious enough to cough up for the calls that they make), it should be ok for them for them to steal the premium services, then they're an idiot
