I was thinking about this. It is crazy that a private company gets to deputize the state legal apparatus to enable their business model. They want to be able to sell something that is very difficult to restrict access to, so they use the legal system to make sure it stays restricted. They want to be able to install a cable all the way to someone’s house, and then have the state prosecute them if they dare touch it.

> It is crazy that a private company gets to deputize the state legal apparatus to enable their business model. One could argue this is a major purpose of the state. When you can't deputize the state to resolve disputes, you get gang violence (see the drugs trade for more examples than you can count)

  It just needs to be milder. A summary offence with a fine at worse. This is breach of contract not theft.
