AsoT - I completely agree with you. If someone obtains something via means not intended by the original provider, they are stealing.

If people think otherwise, well, I'm glad they can live with themselves.

I don't know why people think that if they subscribe to a service, be it cable, satellite tv or whatever, that they then own the rights to the content that is provided to them. By subscribing to the service, you are only given rights to view or listen to it. You are NOT given the right to record it, and share freely with all of your friends on the internet.

Just because you can do something, or have done something for years (i.e. share music on tapes, tv programs and movies on vcr cassettes, dvds, etc) doesn't make it right.
