Not being able to legally obtain something does not make obtaining it
illegally okay or right.

As long as he's paying for the service, it's all gravy, IMO.

Since he got service with an old access card, and cant now, obviously he
wasnt paying for it.

My newsserver hasn't picked up on the original post, so I didn't see
that part. I agree then. In my mind, grey-market is ok, as long as
someone's paying for the service, but dbs pirates take away from all of
us.

You want to get Canadian and American BDUs (broadcasting distribution
undertakings), the CRTC and FCC together along w/ a bunch of whiny
Canadian cable broadcasting watchdog groups together and hammer out a
deal where a Canadian can legally subscribe to the foreign satellite
programming of their choice? Thought not.

XM has a huge music catalog, something like 300,000 songs, whereas Sirius has a far smaller catalog, something like 50,000 songs.

John -- totally agree with your post -- but these numbers are a little
off -- XM's last statement indicated something over 2.1 million tracks;
Sirius' last statement was about 500,000.

Of course, neither plays all of those, presumably -- so your numbers
might be right on considering the numbers of tracks actually used on a
routine basis.
