what percentage of your users leverage ad block? I bet its a lot.

The model for consumption has changed, the industry hasn't changed with it. It eventually will, the problem is that theft might already be entrenched in people's minds by then.

Not surprised. Just saddened. It's dishonest.

I want to cut the cord, but primarily watch live sports, and like being able to flip back and forth through games. Is it possible to still be able to have access to all the big games, and cut the cord? If so, how?

Internet is a separate charge, considering it has many unrelated functions.

Sling plus netflix and local broadcast is $30. No contracts, no changes in price, and no infomercial channels. It's too much of a stretch to say the costs are about the same.

Can a cord cutter answer this:

what would you do if you weren't allowed to mooch/pirate TV programming in any way?

What would the costs be to ethically cut the cord and still get a decent amount of programming?

If people sharing HBOGo and Netflix accounts saddens you, I can only imagine how objectively bad behaviors and crimes impact you. It must be impossible to read your own site when crimes stores--which are almost always worse than account sharing--are posted.

Regardless, if this is an indicator of society's downward trend, then what does the inverse relationship of violent behavior indicate?

Sling tv has espn and a $5 extra sports package with sec network and others. That's $25 total per month. Watch the CBS, Fox, etc. games in hd with an antenna.

I had the cord cut for a while and didn't mooch.

I ended up at bars and restaurants for games a lot.

I'm not deflecting. I have cable, pay for the premium channels, and do not have any plans to go cordless.

I just don't find account sharing to be that inherently bad, relative to all the possible "less than ideal" behaviors; especially considering that the providers could easily limit or prevent this but are not actively doing so at this time.

It's worth 100 bucks more a month to not deal with the hassles cord cutters deal with.
