One thing I do believe though is that there are quite a lot of people out there who have extensive knowledge of the cable hack .. who are looking for places to share their knowledge ........... I say 'share their knowledge' because the true pioneers of this hack never actually did this for the money .. it has always been about sharing knowledge (and getting one over the big guns ...lol) ... so remember with the 'Refugees' you maybe getting some Old "Head's of State" ... who really know what they talking about and will only help this forum grow bigger

i just make it up as i go along as you know, but i am sure we have travelled to the same places

To receive a prison sentence for producing a guide under an alias to hack cable TV seems a bit severe!. There might have been other things going on as well we will never know!

Not very well thought out that statement mate. Have you ever considered how much the cable providers are losing from their coffers due to the stealing of their services by those in the cable section here and elsewhere.

Ten minutes of stolen services would be 4 or 5 times the cost of the car that was nicked and burnt. Lets face it, the people who are stealing the services offered by the cable providers are costing then millions every month, if someone is found to be an accessory, to this stealing of services, then the law should and will come down very hard on them. In the end theft is theft, there is no other way to look at it.

As for the position of this forum, with regard to this matte,r it is down to the Admin guys and they seem to be happy enough with the way things are at the moment.

Very best regards Wez

yea might have been a bit rash there sorry for that!! It just seemed a bit harsh for producing a written document!!

That was written before most of the information was in the public domain, simply repeating information already in the public domain is now protected under the freedom of speech section of the EU Human rights laws - of course, persuading the authorities that EU law takes precedence over UK law could prove difficult.

There was a LOT more going on at Modshack than just producing a hackers guide.

Dw have closed the cable forums just now and all posts are being scanned. mickie is also in talks with lawyers to see where DW stands on the subject. yes you will prob have a lot of new peeps from dw like myself and 666. but the way i see it is the more knowlegable people you have the better.

welcome aboard lads
more the merrier lol

I understand that DW and W-O-D have only temporarily closed their cable sections. All-forums and Unlockers appear to be un-affected

There was a lot more going on there at modshack as the complaints was up to 2005 when VM had nothing to do with CATV back then and it was also S*y that made the complaint about that site. S*y are hardly going to complain about cable being hacked are they?

[gazzas]

please dont think we will come here while dw or whatever other forums we come from then just leave when everything is back to normal. its a community not just a forum and im happy to have found this new site.
