Perhaps you can find another location to discuss how to 
steal^H^H^H^H^Hrecord shows that you didn't pay to see.

I know, "But the cable co isn't encrypting it."  Well, the books in my 
local library aren't encrypted, but copying them is still a violation of 
copyright law (and, no, fair use doesn't apply to either the VOD or book 
argument, as we're not talking about a brief passage).  And, even if you 
can find a way to make it not a copyright violation, I'm sure there are 
plenty of service agreement violations as you're not the one who's 
paying your cable company to watch the show.
