hese idiots just don't get it, do they. We don't want the crap their schlepping.
But, did you ever stop to think... Obviously there are plenty of people that do want their crap, because they keep buying it.
It's simple, telemarketing would not exist if it was not sucessfull. Another thing, seeing as I am working for a telemarketing company right now, I know first hand that there are plenty of people that have no problem purchasing products and services over the telephone.
What's the difference? Home or work, you're still using software that took time+money+skill to develop. How would you feel if you made a product, and people used it without paying for it? Be honest with yourself.
It's a good thing that there are enough people that don't think that way. Otherwise, there would be a lot of software houses going out of business. I will admit though, there are a lot of overpriced software programs out there.
Why can nobody make the separation between the tangible and the intangible?
A company provides a service for a fee. If you're under the impression that because you can't or won't pay for a service, then it's okay to use it anyway, then you're wrong. Plain and simple.
It costs real money to provide those services to consumers, that's why you have to pay for it. If no one payed for their satellite service, well then guess what... IT WOULDN'T EXIST!!!!!!
Think about it this way...
Is it okay to force the housecleaner to clean your house without paying for it? After all, the house cleaner gives you no 'tangible' product, only a service.
Many of the people that were part of this scheme dont have the money to pay for satellite legally. They chose the illegal option because it was what they can afford. Thus it is not lost revenue to the companies since these people would never have paid full price.

They hacked his website to do it too!
The company I work for uses Linux for their entire database/billing/data entry system. Too bad I'm the only one running it on my desktop at work.
Nice sig...
And now, ladies and gentlemen! It's time to pass the lameness filter!
