Why pay for cnn pipeline?

Now all we need is for the RIAA and MPAA to say that cablevision is violating copyright laws because they only pay content providers for the "BROADCAST RIGHTS" and not time-shifting rights exclusive of that contract.
Boo hoo... what's the difference between a NAPSTER and a cableco?
Napster made content file trading a national past-time. Cable companies make file hosting a boondoogle for pre-emptive strike against the telcos, not realizing they need consent of the intellecutal property owners, Cablevision is not SONY/Betamax, people. They are a FOR PROFIT content reseller.
Which is to say, if they can clone the perfect apple and resell it millions of times over and profit, why not.
