But the fact is they didn't go without. They purchased a dodgy smart card with the express intention of defrauding VM out of money by availing of a service without paying for it.

Re: Another One Caught

I think these convictions relate to pre Nagra 3 days. I think the only dishonest way now is card sharing which, as you rightly say, is easier to trace. It's also riskier for the thieves to fork out their dodgey cash as servers can be pulled down at anytime.

And maybe if ferraris weren't so expensive there wouldn't be so many people driving skodas.
Companies are entitled to decide what product to sell and how much to sell it for. Customers are entitled to decide whether they want it and whether they can afford it. They are not entitled to steal it if they disagree with the price.
