Music theft is arguably a more costly "crime" than stealing cable, and it's an offence that has been prosecuted numerous times in courts of law across the world. This isn't really the case for cable theft.

Just trying to see if the "theft is theft" argument holds up. So far, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I must have missed your answer, then. So you're in favor of reporting 95% of all iPod owners to the authorities, including any friends and family members you might know, who listen to illegal MP3s?

Exactly. I would be curious to hear his view on it, though. That's somewhat the point here.
Im not going through it for the third time. Stealing cable is theft, someone is going to report it, whats your problem here? Ok someone might be a hypocrite, its still illegal and still going to get reported.
