I just love the old tried and proven but remains stupid as ever
argument that somehow my sin is the lesser sin so therefore it should
be excused. BOTH are wrong and both deserve to be treated as wrong.
You can not excuse your act based on anothers act no matter how hard
you might try. WRONG is WRONG!

Yes, it most definately is and you lame defense proves it. I would
put your argument in the same category as claiming Rape is ok because
the victim still has her pussy. You are stealing something that does
not belong to you. Theft of service is no different than any other
from of stealing.

It is NOT theft of service, or theft of any kind no matter what the
businesses and business-controlled government say.

Of course this is in no way calling it good or acceptable.

Hope that brain regrows someday ...

Bullshit. In 15 years with DirecTV they have never called for any reason. On
the few occasions I've needed to call them we discussed the offending receiver
and none of the others were even mentioned.

Once they asked me for a card number (to be sure we were talking about
the same receiver). There was no mention of a phone connection. Those
receivers were just a couple of feet apart, but they could have been
hundreds* of miles apart (and I wrote the card numbers down here) and
they'd never know.

&&&

* - that could been thousands, but I did call about a problem with
(spot beam) local channels.
