I'm convinced a fair few of these people who do this are techie types who do it not so much so they avoid payment, rather that they do it because they think they can. Like sticking two fingers up to the system. Anyone suggesting it's like the old days when you just got a cheapo box and connected it up is wrong.
And anyway haven't a lot of people found they have had the service shut down?, surely it can't be rocket science to trace the servers, obviously not given the reports. And they have to pay for access to those servers too, they must be mad in my opinion.
I have noticed Sky and other broadcasters are even flashing up a serial number on screen now to catch out some of the online streams.
It will probably go on but it's no where near as widepsread as when VM used their 'strong as selloptape' encryption!
The game will be up eventually, I read one system has even stopped the sharing route now so well done to them, i'm sure they will all follow.
