| reply to JossMan Re: [CATV] cable theft or not?
For the sake of me being bored right now...
It's theft. Cable bills to the address, not the number of people watching it. If your house has 55 people living in it and all of you chip in $1 a month, then everyone in that house can watch tv billed to that address.
If an apartment complex has 55 tenents and one cable line, split between all residents...but only one tenet's address gets the bill, even if they all chip in a buck 54 people are stealing the service.
Even by your definition of "theft", the person who is splittng the service is "reselling" or "redistributing" the service without the approval of Charter. Charter will NEVER approve of doing such because they make their money from subscribers/address. |
