“Because of the ad skips… It’s theft. Your contract with the network when you get the show is you’re going to watch the spots. Otherwise you couldn’t get the show on an ad-supported basis. Any time you skip a commercial or watch the button you’re actually stealing the programming… I guess there’s a certain amount of tolerance for going to the bathroom.”
So spake Jamie Kellner of Fox and WB, back in 2002. Theft, you see. That’s what it is. Theft.
