No. I think you will find that in the eyes of the law, they are very different offences, which carry were different penalties, and thus they are not equally wrong. By your logic, stealing cable and killing someone are equally wrong, merely by virtue of being against the law. You can say they're both wrong, which I wouldn't dispute, but they're clearly not equally wrong.

You're not far off there. There's obviously no benefit to them from having people leech off what should have been disconnected services, but as I've repeatedly said, there's no question that Virgin do benefit from the people who maintain a minimum subscription and leech the premium channels. It's absolutely correct that Virgin can no longer compete with Sky on their television service, and their reluctance to do so is a matter of public record. Not too long ago, it was even rumored that they were considering throwing in cable TV as a freebie and incentive for people to pick up their internet and phone deals.
