IF you left your car on my property with the keys in it etc, I would still have to perform the action of entering your car and driving away with it. but I would be within my legal right to have it towed away... What I am saying is you have content being delievered to your lines you cannot control without performing something illegal IE climbing the pole and hooking up a filter that is the Cable Companies domain. If your television is passively on the wiring in your house and the wiring is recieving cable its a grey area, because you are not paying for that specifically, but you actions did not cause the cable to be there, if everyone is self reporting you could call the cable company and complain about why are these annoying channels interfering with your normal Snow Pattern you normally get, But if you find 20$ in your mail box, do you call the post office pissed off because you got money? Its the Cable companies job to install and block thier services correctly, if they dont the consumer cant be blamed, if the consumer has made no action to obtain these services, and has not requested these services. But saying we are advocating illegal actions no one has said go to the pole and rip the filters off, no one has said run a line from your neighbors house, no one has suggested running a cablebox not provided by the cable company, so I dont see how anyone is advocating illegal activity
