Ill think you find that most people would rather pay for it. I think you will find also that many people on a site like this will also know how to be able to get cable for free.

? whats it got to do with being perfect ? if you see a car thats unlocked with the keys would you just drive off in it ? its the same principle & you are trying to justify it cuz you keep going on about it.

good point as iv already said its not hard to find sites that give you keys, i found some without even looking for them. however as you said most ppl on TCF pay for their services & rightly too.

You can only drive above 70mph legally if you happen to own (or have access to) enough private land.

Fine. The services are overpriced. Go for Sky or Freeview then. Freeview is free once you pay the licence.

True, but even then you are only supposed to do it under Blue Light conditions..

Why do you find that so hard to believe? you really shouldn't judge others by your own standards.

I'm sure Shawty has his faults, but obviously theft isnt one of them.

Off topic but look up theft in the dictionary, recieving cable TV is not theft, it's just illegal.
The Signal is always going into the house, so you cannot steal it

'cause I was bored, I looked it up. Merriam Webster's Dictionary of Law specifically includes services in it's definition of theft.
OED defines theft as the act of stealing, but defines stealing as taking something without permission. It does not define what that something is..
Either way, it is illegal, whether you define it as theft or not.

And there's my point, your not taking something, the signal is there, your just decrypting it and as i and stuart have pointed out, it's not theft, it is illegal though
