I don't have cable at all, but if I were stealing such a service, I wouldn't be worried about being reported, as it's quite clear that it's not something the legal system or even the cable companies themselves are willing to do much about.

What's not to understand? I'm just sifting through the contradictions and adding a little realistic perspective to all this.

Yes, and all the morality-pushers are afraid to answer the MP3 or speeding question, which is a relevant point, when someone argues for reporting neighbours as a "greater good" act.
I still think your scared, but then thats my personal opinion on the matter. Stealing cable is theft, it can also have an affect to other peoples accounts. I have to ask why you feel you have to comment in the way you do about someone reporting someone for stealing cable. Where would you draw the line, obviously someone in this thread would not stop people trying to break into cars, would you go this far.

Stealing is stealing. Thats why my DVD collection are all originals, but thats getting away from the point of why your here because someone is going to report someone for stealing cable.
