On a related note, I wonder why a lot of public places in the US have stuff on cable (not just sports) and often not HD. They could just use an antenna and get a great picture. I makes me wonder if that's not allowed because it would be a public showing - even though anyone with a portable TV could view it right there anyway. It this the case?
Its not licensed for anything. It is a broadcast signal that anyone with a reciver can view. Any restrictions beyond that seem completely artificial and unwarranted.
Perhaps but when people tell me something is illegal and therefore immoral I always respond with the fact that the holocaust was completely legal in germany.
So copyright holders enforcing their rights has any equivalence at all to mass murder? I'm going to go ahead and assert that your moral compass is more or less fucked.
