why does anyone think its OK to steal satellite tv?

when a company mails a product to your house unsolicited,you are under no
obligation to pay for it,you can keep it and use it as you wish,it's not
"stealing".
Broadcast RF signals are beamed across the entire country.
They rent you the device to decode the signals that are already in your
home.If you provide your own receiver/decoder.....

If you provide your own receiver/decoder... and don't
pay the bill you are stealing their service.


Try explaining THAT without any nonsense. If you try to use "lost
profits", what the **** was that company you don't pay doing with YUOR
money?

"stealing" is a transaction between parties, without A's permission,
in which A no longer has something and B now does. In the case of
unauthorized reception of satellite TV, party 'B' not has the content.
'A' had it before AND STILL DOES exactly as before.
