The content producer is the one getting ass raped in this case, the program is benifiting from the "theft". Why we don't see content producers all offended and going after the programs for this violation of their licensing agreements is beyond me. Other than they need the programs to keep buying content. i.e. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. In other words, steal from me all you want as long as I keep making some money. In the case of Guba, they're not making the money and that's why they're pissed off. So theft of their stuff is A-Ok as long as there's $$$ in it for them.
