Copyright is the right to copy. When you steal a signal, it is already being broadcast, and you are providing them with the means to decrypt it. You haven't copied anything. Some people don't have cable television because they don't pay for it, but the signal is still coming through the wires to their house. It's still being broadcast. They just don't have permission to view it.
You say that "Users are just high-jacking (sic) tv signals and broadcasting them on youtube (sic) ." Well, actually I can't go to YouTube and watch a live television broadcast of anything. So do you mean to tell me that if somebody legitimately purchased cable service and made a copy of a show and posted it on YouTube, that would be okay? And Viacom is only suing YouTube because people are broadcasting CBS live 24/7 on YouTube?
And if this is the case, why aren't cable companies suing YouTube?
Have you even been to YouTube?

You are an idiot!
Please go to your proper forum :

The sattlelite customers are not re-broadcasting so the tv show can't sue
under copyright, but the sattlelite company sues the customer for theft of services.
Copyright is the right to publish wether you make a fucking copy or not.
Putting the video on a website is known as internet publishing wether it
be live or copied.
You said early on that you were smarter than me, but dude, you are as
dumb as a box of fucking rocks.
