Cable/Television

You pay for your cable thus you "bought" the rights to watch it or tape it
to watch it later.  The Television/Cable pays the Producers/Copyrights
holder.  Thus you have Payed for the CFL, NFL football game (or tape it to
watch later).

ISP/Internet
You pay your ISP for access to the Internet but they do not pay the
Producers/Copyright Holders. Thus you have an copy of the movie that you did
not Pay for
