It seems login credentials can be passed around and used by multiple parties quite easily. Like directv, sunday ticket, hulu, espnwatch etc. How can these companies justify allowing this? They have to know it is going on, and from what I've seen it is rampant and getting more so. Is it the competition for the subscriber? Or maybe that many of the providers also sell internet bandwidth?

I keep thinking there will be a massive crackdown just before a big event, like the opening of football season, but it hasn't happened yet.
