Needless to say I wouldn't be participating in that either.

Good call.

Indeed :)

As for the areas i think its pretty close to the end now. The land fill sites will see an increase in dodgy box dumping as the last of the ebay sales draw to a close and the thieving gits will not be able to con another thieving git into buying a door stop. :LOL:

Not really what I asked and that's nothing new it's been happening for several months area by area as I'm sure you're aware.

See through the fervour and answer the question if possible, is the deployment of the new crypto now complete?

If people are using illegitimate modems they can probably be found.

If people are using alternative ISPs they may be found - this relies on compromising the CS server to get a list of IP addresses and then dishing out court orders which frankly isn't worth the time, easier to just take the thing offline and be done with it.

I don't remember anyone clapping or applauding or cheering, perhaps some people appreciating the need for the stuff or that there's a point behind it.

A quick bit of satisfaction at the work was cool, it's a good thing after all, the ongoing gloat-fest every time an area gets shut down is really quite bizarre. Of course if you really have nothing else to feel enthusiastic about and such things really turn you all on that much to each their own.

Card sharing is basically taking the output from a single legitimate card and transmitting it across the Internet to however many illegitimate boxes so that they have the information they need to decrypt the TV signal.

Thanks for the answer Ignitionnet. That is just what I wanted to know.
