Here's another one to think about.

1. You have a job cleaning drinking fountains in a hospital

2. The hospital pays you

3. A visitor comes in, gets a drink of water, and fails to get a
deadly infectious disease because you cleaned that drinking fountain.

4. You (not the hospital) sue the visitor for "theft of service" since
HE benefited from your service, but didn't pay you.
God that is a reach. He was paid for his service, cleaning up the
fountain, by the hospital.


As to satellite companies, that company has expenses to provide the
signals.

An additional receiver does how affect those expenses.
By not paying for them.
