True, but stealing from them does nothing to cure the problem. You want to make a complaint about being ripped off, do so through proper channels.

The public robbing the services do so at their own risk. Yes

Dont do the crime if you can't do the time. Yes
True.
Quote:
Don't feel guilty if you rob their services,they dont feel guilty robbing you. Yes
All that achieves is making you as bad as them.

Don't whine and moan about people robbing the services just because your in an area that doesn't support cable and your can't rob the services yourself! lol

And join the ride
And what happens when too many people steal services? Look up On Digital.

P.S I dont watch Sky/VM or much TV in general but I hate big corporate businesses taking us all for a ride. Good look to the thieves. Also if everyone got rid of their chipped boxes and joined Virgin if you think Virgin would think thanks guys we will knock £5 off everyones package price then your on cloud cuckoo land.
Do I believe they would do that? No, not really. However, I know that if you were truly against "corporate business taking us all for a ride" rather than just an opportunist hoping for some free or cheap tv and trying to justify it, then you would not watch TV. At all.
Get real

If it can be made and designed by one HUMAN it can be replicated and stolen!
True. Does not make it right though.

I remember a phrase I learned when younger.. Just because you can do a thing, it does not mean you should do that thing.

I could go down the road, break into the rather large Renault dealership down the road, steal a car and drive off. It doesn't mean I should do that, or that it is right for me to do so.
