Well it only lasted about 7 minutes for me tonight, they must've caught on, and threw on the purchase screen for those that don't have it in their purchase history.

If they leave the barn door open it isn't stealing IMHO (Kind of like tuning into blacked out sports 3 hrs and 1 minute after the show is scheduled to start.....)
I feel the same way about the free analog cable Cablevision pipes into my house with my cable modem (I only hook up a splitter for Eagles games and local Weather Channel info during storms)
