well yes, rip cable when you steal
to legitimately cut the cord and not sacrifice programming you want to see...impossible right now and for the forseeable future

Thats the thing, everyone (or a lot of people) willingly stole music with napster downloads when CDs were $20 but, now, today, many gladly pay Spotify $10 a month for unlimited streaming. ($5 per month if youre a student btw)
In general, numbers show that people tend to go with the reasonably priced legal option over the free illegal option when the choice is available.

Hardly, this is huge; cordcutters continue to grow and old fricks who pay $100s for cable continue to die

I could do it right now, but I need sunday ticket and a few go to cable channels
plus the random time filler stuff on cable such as murder porn on ID...summer is a brutal time for television and cable is really starting to fill the void

Most popular network shows you can watch online legally.
If HBO & ESPN moved to internet subscriptions, I would easily be able to watch anything I wanted all of the time.
HBO starts next year and ESPN will some day soon.
As it is, between NEtflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu (FREE) I turned my cable on twice from the Super Bowl until College Football started.

Cable companies do not have the leverage here
Exactly. A cable company without ESPN would be out of business within 6 months. They can do both like HBO is doing.

They have got to figure out ads on streaming for ESPN3 and the like. I watch my sports almost exclusively through legal streaming services and there are either no ads or the same one over and over. Either people don't wanna advertise to streaming or they're trying to charge them too much.
