Of course it is. Their original decision to launch the satellite and their ongoing decision to continue the programming is dependent on people being paying to use it.

Bottom line, Chuck - you are intentionally deriving a direct benefit from others' labors and/or expenditures, without compensating them, and without their permission. That's unethical, that's wrong, that's stealing. That they don't realize it (or have any way of realizing it) matters not one whit.

Then we're back at the start: if everybody else used the satellite service without paying for it, the company would go bankrupt. So the company IS affected. You refuse to see this. Nothing to add indeed.
