Doesn't the cable companies' own argument apply to them in this case?

They are running around  monitoring  radio signals with  information not
intended for their use.  It is OK for them to receive these  signals but
it should not be OK for them to make use of the information  they obtain
from such  eavesdropping  -- just as the  eavesdroppers  on other  radio
broadcasts may not sell them or use them for financial gain.
