Sadly, this blackmail usually works. When the cable subscriber (or Satellite) turns on their system and finds out the show/channel they wanted is blacked out, they call in raising hell about the Earth and the Moon will soon pass away and how it better be back on ASAP and I want credits on my bill etc etc
Result is, Cable Co/DBS/Whoever then cave in to subscriber complaints pressure.... And then you get a $4 a month increase on your bill in 3 months.... and the customers bitch about that too.
Why would a cable company raise rates $4 a month when Viacom is only asking for 23 cents more? Hmmmmmm.
