Cable pirates

Lots of people can't afford a cable or satellite hookup in Brazil, so they pirate the signal, according to a story in the New York Times.

The story quotes a telephone company technician who performs the unauthorized hookups for some extra money.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian government is looking for ways to legitimize the pirate business and turn it into revenue.
