...from four continents have converged--among them Bertelsmann, Liberty Media, News Corp. and Sony--to pick at the carcass. In Italy, where stealing satellite service is pursued with the same ingenuity and gusto as is tax avoidance, two competing pay-TV services, Vivendi's Telepiu and News Corp.'s Stream, have fared so poorly that they have had little choice but to combine their 2.3 million subscribers. Two struggling Spanish providers of pay TV by satellite, SogeCable and Via Digital, are headed down the same path...

Some may have called that money-saving ingenuity - he didn't have to buy a stand-alone DVD player - but the entertainment industry saw it as a threat to its revenue stream and Norwegian authorities saw it as a crime.
