D'oh! I made the same mistake someone else made in interpreting one of my earlier posts. I meant 'unidirectional' not 'unicast'.

Hey, keep me out of this. Post #888 is a reply from TheDon to one of my posts and has nothing to do with confiscation or court warrants. I think you need to unravel the thread from post #886 working backwards to the original contentious remark!

I'm not sure what the definitions are in law but even a car boot sale may be covered as a place of business. The individual seller has paid the organiser for a patch and the organiser has rented the venue, more often than not, on a regular basis agreement. With a market stall, the organiser is usually the local council or its representative. Although their may be different permits involved, a market and a car boot sale seem very similar to me.

Anyway, I don't want to get into this largely uninformed and speculative 'legal' discussion and I think we should all move on. Wait a few of months until Nagra 1 has been removed and then restart the discussion based on the results.

Did my dodgy neighbour continue to receive free cable (FreeLoad )? Did he/she avail of the amnesty and go 'legit'? Did they switch to satellite (BSkyB or FreeSat) or 'downgrade' to DTT on FreeView? How much did my subscription go down or content go up as a result of this new injection of revenue to VM from the reformed FreeLoad-ers? All this and more but only when we actually know something!

Seizure? I think I'm having one!
