  1. They don't need to pay anyone... by MadAnthony02 · · Score: 1 · on Cable Box Piracy Ring Busted

    cable companies don't even need to pay people to get them to rat on each other. You can do it for free on this website, and I'm sure there are others. I know Comcast is involved in the above one, there was an article in the Baltimore Sun a while ago about the program - they have been running ads on TV and have had quite a bit of luck getting people to turn on their neighbors.

    For an amusing, RIAA-esque read, check out the cabletheft.com "get the facts" section, which blames cable theft not only for higher rates, but also for "ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF OTHERS".

    I looked around that site and found this little gem:

    "Even more serious, lives can be endangered by the shoddy work of cable thieves. Cable's usually "closed-circuit" distribution system can be compromised, resulting in interference with aeronautic radio navigation signals and emergency service radio transmissions. "

    For the love of god don't steal cable anymore or you'll crash and airplane!

  4. Perhaps they'd appreciate this: by jekk · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Comcast in Court, AT&T Gets Greedy
    On the AT&T article is a link to the cable theft site. This is a wonderful location, where you are encouraged to (anonmously) rat on your friends and neighbors for stealing cable. Just for fun, I suggest you stop by this site and enter the name and address of your local govener, mayor, or other upstanding citizen.

    These "rat on your neighbors" programs (Business Software Alliance in particular, but the principle is general) REALLY get on my nerves. Guilty if accused is a BADLY broken policy and needs to be driven home to everyone.

    Anyone else see this link:

    God damn that's funny. I wonder if that actually works, I suppose you'd get some info from pissed off romantic partners or something.

    Anybody know if we can get the addresses of AT&T's board members from the SEC or something?

  6. The Cable Industry by funkhauser · · Score: 2 · on Comcast in Court, AT&T Gets Greedy

    The nonsense that the article talks about, recent price hikes, electronic "bullets", etc., are just more examples of what corporations do to protect their cashflow. Who cares about individual rights if the bottom line is looking rosy?

    The cable company that provided service for my dorm last semester ran these ads that encouraged other people to rat out people who were getting free cable. Does anyone else find this really humorous? I mean, if I know someone getting free cable, I'm going to ask them to hook me up, not turn 'em in for some Cable Industry Good Consumer Award.

    Check out the site here.
