You justify piracy because the legal method (having a cable subscription) is inconvenient?

  Some people think about this way too morally - For most of us, morality never enters the equation, I just want to watch something, there's no "justification" it's just "how do I get the content?" in an absolutely utilitarian sense.

    I guess in the same way folks are uncivil online. The virtual world doesn't seem to have the same emotional force as the real world. So folks lie, cheat and steal without hesitation.

    Just because someone is unaware of morality does not mean morality ceases to exist...

    Or as I mentioned in my other post, I actually do pay for cable and I still stream torrents of TV shows because it's the only real alternative to using the cable company tuner/dvr. In my case, the thing I want is a better way to watch the shows I've paid for and since they make it all but impossible to use a better DVR solution, I often just watch via streaming torrents instead.
