This is just false. There are plenty of places where you don't have the option at all. And it's not stealing, saying that just makes you look ridiculous.

You can ease your guilt I guess, but that copyrighted material is ending up in your home.  You've heard it since you were a child..."This copyrighted broadcast...blah, blah, blah..any use without the express written consent of (fill in names here) is prohibited by law.

The firms that are streaming the content are doing it without the consent of the Pac-12.  Your access is then part of their crime.  Stealing.  Theft. Etc. 

Pac-12 should post ads with the coaches on the Pac-12 Nets noting that illegal streaming has a victim, your Pac-12 alma mater.

I was wondering when you'd assume that I'm doing this: newsflash, I'm not. Your arguments are just really bad.

You also might want to considering consulting a dictionary for the meaning of the word "theft". You keep using it incorrectly.

I also love the idea that this is taking money from Stanford (woe is Stanford, of the multi-billion dollar endowment), when Stanford sees, what, $0.10 per subscriber or something? It would be hard to come up with something that matters less.
