Blame it on the economy, lack of common sense, or lowered aspirations, but it seems like an awful lot of you guys think it’s a good idea to re-sell DirecTV “on the sly,” as they say in the business. Hell, this morning alone no less than two items have come across our desk to this effect — and you know as well as we do that if both John Metzler, the owner and operator of Phoenix Communications and Pine River Cable in Michigan, is reselling premium digital channels, and if four unnamed Haysi, Virginia residents have also thought of it, then it’s a growing concern. Our advice? Just don’t do it. You don’t want to be like OJ , do you? Didn’t think so.
