Sure it's less convenient but he's a total arse and it would annoy me
if I paid him anything deliberately when there was an alternative.

Do Murdoch and his cohorts have a legitimate claim to the assets in
question?
(If not, it's not theft)
Is it theft if someone isn't deprived of something they possess?

You are depriving them of revenue that is rightfully theirs. It is no
different to viewing pirated films, listening to pirated music or
using pirated software.
All are theft

Murdoch's product is *not* contraband, it was legitimately purchased from
Cricket Australia. Perhaps you believe that CA should not have entered
into an agreement which left free-to-air viewer out in the cold (or
perhaps that they should not have been *allowed* to do so by legislation),
but that's a different thing.
Take your anger out on CA (and/or the government) rather than Murdoch.

He is, without doubt, one of the nastiest pieces of work amongst the
seriously influential on the face of the planet Perhaps, three years
after he went bankrupt, his enterprises seized by people who really
hated him, if I came upon him sleeping rough on a park bench, I might
run out and buy a bootleg of one of his cricket games and gift wrap it
for him to trade for coffee. Until then, he gets nothing from me.

no fta tv station wants the cricket, remember the ashes? took a last minute
intervention to even get it on tv here. and sbs at that. even if the SA was
offered up for free to a tv network they wouldnt want it as it eats into
prime time. havent done for years and years , never will again.
all overseas tours are offered up to fta and they ignore them time and
again.
