You know what - I can't point to a case involving an individual with a single box. Doesn't mean to say it doesn't happen though. Actually I think it's unlikely that an individual brought to court would go to jail unless they were a repeat offender. More likely they would get a fine. But they would still have a criminal record for fraud, which is unlikely to be helpful for any future job they might apply for.

The police and VM are always more likely to go after the big boys. As with drugs busts, if you take out the dealers you take out more of the problem in one go than you would by taking out the individual junkies on the street corners. But the individuals on the street corners are still law-breaking junkies. And junkies do still get done for possession when the boys in blue find them.
well the boys in blue never arrested 1 single person for having a chipped box in their house(never seen 1 link over the years)...and even if you were to show me a link or 2 i would imagine the customers of virgin media that got done was miniscule..but enough about all that its in the past..as i said i only posted on this thread because someone else bumped it and i was reading back about the Karen Murphy case and a few senior members were acting flippantly and basically calling karen and people like Karen the devil incarnate.
