It is a shame this point was glossed over because it is a good one. What about people who use FM modulators in their car? Don't they "broadcast" content that people should have to pay for? So if I'm in traffic and pick up Sirius on the vehicle next to me on 88.1FM, aren't I just as wrong as the person lifting a wi-fi?
