And again, you miss my point. Beyond the IP (which can, and probably would, be faked), while we have a statement that *somebody* has admitted to using a cloned modem, we cannot offer any evidence as to who. We do also have the problem that people do sign up to forums and make such stuff as this up, just to look "cool".

Surely, Virgin/NTL as the owners of the network will have better facilities to be able to trace such people, all though I have no knowledge in this feild, so I dont know.

They do have better facilities, but won't discuss these with outsiders (for obvious reasons),

Lets turn your CD guy around, and say it was my next door neighbour using a cloned modem or stotel TV services, then yes I would as it could be having an affect on my services.

Lets not. You know who your next door neighbour is. You know he is doing it, and could give the police these facts. Thus, they could check him out relatively easily. I chose the example I did deliberately because on the forum, we don't know who each other are, and only know what we are told by other people. We have no evidence that what they say is true

Capitalism has a simple answer for this: If you can't afford the extra channels, don't have them. Remember, TV is a luxury, not a right.

Lack of money is not an excuse for stealing.
