Tell that to the judge, as the saying goes.

Just because it is there and you are technically capable of stealing it
does not mean that you should try to.

Neither does it mean that you can get away with it.  Cable companies
are aware of the situation and have been known to collect against
entrepreneurs.

If you really want the 'engineering challenge' get a job
with a cable company.

I don't think that it is a good idea to use the Net to proliferate
information on how to transgress the law.  Comments?
