Excellent - now we can have a meaningful discussion. Like I mentioned earlier - show me the error of my ways. I'm a pretty easy going guy and even easier to get along with

I would concede this point if you can (and I'm trying but can't come up with one yet) tell me a blockbuster movie made within the last 3 years that has never been released onto cable television.

Actually, no, it doesn't and in fact strengthens my argument. I tape shows on one day and then watch them the following days using TIVO - a perfectly legal and another service I pay for. The show's that I taped the previous day aren't on the following day but I can still watch it. No one yells "thief" under those circumstances and there isn't a soul among you that sit through the commercials on a taped show but you won't see me yelling "you're depriving the studio's of advertising revenue" at anyone.

I never said they did (though if you check out the movie section of just about any hotel you'll see a "still in theaters" section...

Sure it does and I'll point you back to the Tivo comment above. I'm able to Tivo it and watch it any time I like for as long as I like - free of charge.
So lets assume for a minute that you were brought up on charges and we are standing in front of a judge or a jury. You really think they are going to buy this theory of yours[/QUOTE]
I can't presume to speak for anyone but I do believe that I have a strong argument but even if they didn't, I would ask that they in turn prove to me monetary damages.
