But when you have Sky charging over £40 for a montly subscription to watch crap movies, you'd be best placed to go and join your local Blockbuster store. But what really hurts is is the extortionate prices they charge for viewing football matches, I mean over £10 just to watch a pay per view game ontop of your subscription you already pay!!!
If the ppv games were like £2.50 they'd probably get my business.
Sky and Virgin are the people who are pushing up prices, the people who steel cable are simply a byproduct of their (Sky and VM's) greed.

Attitudes like that never fail to amuse me.
Nobody is putting a gun to these peoples' heads. No-one is forcing them to steal. They are doing it of their own free will. From experience usually these type of people are the sort who think nothing of buying stolen gear or fake designer stuff.
Now if that's how people want to do business then that's up to them, I'm not slagging them off. But to suggest it's the broadcasters who are at fault makes as much sense as Arsene Wenger after the Gunners lose a game.
