For you to say it's not a pirate box means you don't think anyone would lose money if the RTV 4000 were to suddenly appear in everyone's home.

The Pony Express would lose a ton of money if everyone had a device in their house that let them talk to other people in real-time. In fact, Pony Express's entire business model rests on nobody inventing any telecommunications method more advanced than the pony. Alexander Graham Bell is thus a nefarious pirate and an Enemy of Americanism.
