I think we're getting into very different issues here. The reality is that you can phone Virgin and report someone stealing cable, and find that they aren't particularly interested. Best case scenario, they will put that particular line on the list to be disconnected whenever they have a tech in the area anyway, but if it's someone who already has a minimum subscription, even phone and broadband, it's unlikely that they will do anything at all.
That's not going to happen, though. Only in very rare circumstances will the cable companies try to prosecute individual offenders, and if the supposed victim can't even be bothered, I'd say that's about as close to the definition of victimless crime as you're ever going to get. |
Are you playing hard to get or what? So downloading MP3's is illegal to, so what, if a certain person reports theft of cable and not theft of MP3's, it might make them a hypocrite, so what? They are still reporting an illegal crime at the end of the day, which is all that matters. Some people might agree or disagree with certain laws, so what? Might make them a hypocrite, so what? An illegal theft has still been reported.
We have been told to stay of the issue of MP3's, so you sitting there all night typing
"Again, I have never claimed it wasn't illegal." is not getting us anywhere, I know you never, I never said you did. As we are not supposed to go of topic, he has or wants to report a theft, what more is there to it.
