As opposed to the other other forums where various Cable thieves are currently bitching because their box has gone offline? Or the bitching done by the people who have in all innocence bought a dead hacked cable box from ebay because the previous "owner' sold it on when it failed? How much money have they saved?

Re: All Chipped Cable Boxes Going Down

are you daft enough to take the risk?

if you walked into HMV and helped yourself to CDs and DVDs without paying, the risk is getting caught and prosecuted for shoplifting.

same as stealing cable services, but the fines are bigger.

my former employer got £40,000 fine

What Sirius does on another forum is between him and the members and admins of that forum. Do not bring it here.

Dont pay the fine, let them take you to claims court (its a private matter, not criminal)and get declared bankrupt. Nothing to lose.

Downloading from P2P is a private (copyright) matter, where as theft of services (dodgy boxes) is a criminal matter.. Glad to see you have no idea of the difference...

That, take drugs, smack the missus about, watch Jeremy Kyle to see if any of his extended family are on it.

Anyway he'll go back under the bridge soon enough.
