Who amongst us doesn't steal? I read a quote last week from some executive, advertising or TV I can't remember (sorry about the vagueness of this but I got the gist of the quote if not the detail) that if you channel hop during the ad break or if you use the mute button (pity there wasn't a 'moot' button) so that you don't hear the ad, then you are stealing from the advertisers. The argument is that they pay for your brain for the allotted time during a show & if you switch off during the ads then your are ripping the advertisers off. This seems to me to fit in with Craig's simplistic argument that if you can't afford to buy a cd, then you have no right to listen to the music. You can't afford to buy a TV station, or the air time to broadcast a show, so you rely on the 'goodwill' & hard cash of advertisers to pay the bill for you. You don't watch the ads, you are stealing from them. I hope you all feel guilty now.
