Card sharing though relies on someone with a working account.. (they don't tend to be out in the public domain as then the key can be cancelled)

Where Nagra2 (and some older systems) the master keys are either out in the public domain or they are crackable so that gives the ability to create a key no linked to an account, the same thing happened with Sky many years ago when a disgruntled employee decided to publish some fo the master keys and sky then had a problem with dodgy cards for a couple of years on the old videocrypt system and more recently with Digital+ and thier Nagra 2 system hence they've gone to Nagra 3 where the Master keys are not out and no-one yet has thus produced daily keys..

It realy is where VM needs to go, both Nagra 3 and NDS have resisted hacking of the master keys and it is only card sharing that is a 'limited' problem
