The only thing "criminal" here was BIG MONEY (read: DTV and company) paying off government officials to change satellite signal laws to the disadvantage of the individual and then using deceipt, coercion and false promises of cooperation to make a Guinea Pig of someone to scare the rest of us into following their newly bought "laws". Did anyone here know that the self-righteous DTV partners NDS stand accused of being the ones who leaked their own SMART CARD info to people like Mr Mullen... why... among other reasons because they knew many people would rather have a "hackable" system then the more secure DISH NETWORK system...

(see: http://www.dtv100.com/forums/6954-satellite-tv-hackers-tool-global-conspiracy-2002-article.html?garpg=3)

Once they had thousands of new customers on board, coincidentally,a new, more secure card was introduced! Unfortunatly, Robin Hood did not win this round against the EVIL DTV empire!
