As a point of fact, it wasn't a ruling, it was an opinion offered to the judges by a senior lawyer. The judges do often accept these opinions and rule the same way, but it's not over yet.

That aside, you should pay close attention to the progress of the court case Johnnymeg has linked to. It doesn't matter how you steal your cable services, all the boxes are as illegal as each other and when they catch you, you will wind up in front of the beak facing a large fine or up to 5 years in jail.
