They are getting paid. By the ads we have to watch. I'm guessing they are not cutting back on ads because of this.

It's a form of stealing, which is one of the 10 commandments. You might not get into legal trouble in this world, but how are you going to defend yourself in the world to come?

Not OP but

Ethics aside, is this a problem in the world to come? Is that site owned by yiddisha?

Does it really matter if the companies that own the rights to the videos are owned by Jews (although most of them probably do have Jewish some Jewish ownership)?

There is also the matter of dina d'malchusa dina. If it's against the law then it's against halacha.

I am the amother you quoted:

Actually you are right, I just remembered that it is indeed problematic. Only time it might not be a problem is when your'e not at fault, say the store mistakenly did not charge you for an item. But to actually steal while being aware IS not okay. Yidden or not.

brilliant, really. I tell you that you're stealing, and your excuse is a: who will know? (well, I will. and the board will. hashem will, but whatever, it's your relationship with him.) and b: it might not count because he (am assuming "he" is ABC, so it should be "they," so hundreds of thousands of people) might not be jewish.

that's some curious reasoning.

You are wrong, but you just don't want to acknowledge it. I've said my piece and I won't push it any more because you obviously don't want to listen.

Just don't suggest that other people do what you do as if there isn't a problem.

I will reply the way so many others do when voicing opinions on things on other boards

a: this stuff? is supposed to be a frum women's bulletin board

b: isn't calling one of them a bimbo lashon hara?

Okay, I just checked out one episode of the bachelor since this got me curious. It is the strangest most inane tv show.

I have mixed feelings about this show. Juan has a daughter but some of the women on the show are really not ready/cut out to be a mom (ie Nikki). I was really happy when Sharleen decided to leave since she made it very clear from the start that she didnt want to have children. I hated what happened with Claire and how Juan treated her afterwards so I cant see them being together for too long. I really like Renee but I dont think that Juan is good enough for her since he comes across as a fake player and Renee (and her son) deserve better. That leaves Andi but she is a strong woman and Juan has liked it when the women were needy and unsure of themselves so I doubt that they would last very long either. So overall, I dont think Juan will end up with the woman he chooses for too long. Overall, I had a hard time watching this season since I couldnt really stand Juan and I hope that they choose someone better next time around.
