Very good point. Another way to look at this is CF is taken quite seriously by the media outlets as a source of information of cable-related matters - the fact that Phorm post here is an indication of our reputation.
Imagine what it would do to our credibility if we allowed the discussion of how to obtain services without a subscription. A lot of hard work would go down the drain overnight.

But thats what I think.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. If VM needed our help in tracking these people down I'm sure they would have already asked us. But no such approach for information has been made by
any company or individual.
