LOL

I help my neighbors bootleg cable. I'm a wirehead and I know just what to do. My router is hooked to an antennae which allows all my neighbors to get 6 meg service. Cable companies are getting away with murder right now. They have a monopoly and the build out was funded in large part with OUR tax dollars.

Those cables are vital to OUR economy and we paid the freight. What needs to happen is for a bunch of guys like me to go to the dish site and destroy their ability to transmit. This would have to be done all over the country and the damage would have to be significant enough so it took them days to fix it. All it would take is 3-5 days without service for the Government to rethink their stand on allowing cable companies to own a monopoly.

If I were president they'd either play by my rules or I'd put them out of business.

Back when I lived in Vermont in the '70s, I knew a woman whose husband pulled the electric meter and reinstalled it backward. When they used power, the meter ran backward.

I think now, they have little wire thingies on the meter to prevent people from doing that.
