well I subscribe to my full regular cable, and my internet, and I dont have any black boxes trying to get the free hbo etc. and if I could pay per channel I would take a bunch of them out and only pay for those, but that costs even more money to selectively filter channels, so I give my 85$ a month to Timewarner for stable fast internet, and currently 73 channels of clear analog cable.
But for the sake of argument, if they wired it to your house, you didnt go cut the wire or splice your neighbors or do anything other than plug in your tv set to the cable outlet, is it really stealing? I have always associated the word steal with actually performing an action to get it. If it was accident, then they can just run a frequency counter and drive down your block do an audit and remove your connection, as long as you dont go onto the pole and replace it, you didnt steal it in the first place, just the way I look at it, and the way a lawyer would probably look at it.
