Buying it illegally is what some people do. I wish I could find the article I read, but pirate cable is definitely a thing in some places

Stealing legally is what the cops do when they commit ~~robbery~~ civil asset forfeiture

Every house on my street gets pirate cable. When I found out my ancient neighbor was paying for cable with her social security I was like check this out. Disconnect cable box connect TV straight into coax. Saved her a lot of money when she cancelled cable.

Any time you move to a new house or apartment just plug the coax into a TV, you might be surprised.
