There is now a site that allows online streaming of live TV, including cable channels. The site has to keep switching servers because they keep getting shut down. They know the cable companies are opposed to their operation, but don't care. Should criminal charges be brought against the people offering this pirated service.

At the flea market, there are a couple of guys who sell bootlegged copies of movies. Some of the movies are still in theaters and have not been made available for digital release. They are made by filming the movie in the theater or from dvds that were sent out to reviewers and such. Should these guys be arrested and charged with a crime?
