We have a link somewhere, let us find it, of some suit complaining
that not watching the commercials is STEALING!!!
http://www.2600.com/news/view/article/1113
Note this segment:
"When asked if he considers people who go to the bathroom during a
commercial to be thieves, he responded: 'I guess there's a
certain amount of tolerance for going to the bathroom. But if you
formalize it and you create a device that skips certain second
increments, you've got that only for one reason, unless you go to
the bathroom for 30 seconds. They've done that just to make it
easy for someone to skip a commercial.' Heaven forbid. "
Of course, he was talking about TiVo-ing the whole show and
fast-forwarding through the commercials, that is just what we do,
but the principle's the same, or is it?
