The courts have ruled that it's ok for people to use spyware to steal our traffic because it's being done on the computer of the person seeing the webpage.

Why is that different here?

If it's ok for spyware companies to hijack traffic and copyright protected content that they don't own, why is it illegal for someone to hijack a video signal at their house?
