Actually there are circumstances where people can quite legally own one of the old Jerrold boxes:

1. In the bad/good old days you were given the option to buy your analogue receiver. You would have cheaper TV line-rental as a result.

2. If the CATV company did not collect the goods within a certain period of time after cancelation, then the goods could be seen as passing ownership to the ex-customer. I'm not sure how long it is, but I have an idea it would be six months after termination.

So therefore, if I owned the goods, I am free to trade them as I like. As long as the buyer doesn't tell me he's going to use them illegally then I have comitted no crime.
