How exactly are VM (or any other ISP) going to blacklist anyone for having a conviction for fraudulent reception of broadcasts?
Last time I signed up with VM they didn't do a CRB check.
There is no blacklist, and never will be a blacklist, so don't make out like there is. It's frankly ridiculous. Even if you have convictions under the computer misuse act and are banned from going near a pc or connecting to the internet there is still NOTHING to stop you signing up with an ISP. Sure you'd be breaching the terms of your sentence, but there are no actual preventative measures in place and enforcement is down to probation workers carrying out checks.
