In regards to television I can see the argument that its not morally as wrong but you have to consider that its only free on television because its supported by advertising. So it isn't actually free, its just being paid for by someone else.

Then its also morally wrong to fast forward/timeshift advertisements on recorded shows. So if one practice is about as morally wrong as the other practice and one is accepted, then why wouldn't both be acceptable?

Actually most TV companies consider that immoral.  A lawsuit was actually won against an earlier DVR company, suggesting that by viewing a show you were agreeing to watch advertisments.

Or something like that.
