If SCO 'knows' there is Unix code in Linux, doesn't that mean they could have had their engineers (or someone else who has access to the Unix code) study the code to benefit their own? I doubt a point like this would ever come up in court because it's pretty
loaded and would be hard to prove but it is something to think about...
And it may not even be illegal assuming they didn't copy and paste.
Pirating DTV in particular is very popular in Canada, atleast around here. Canadian television isn't as bad as it used to be (We have uncensored Trialer Park Boys filmed locally here (Search Kazaa for those) airing on Showcase). Our Canadian equivalents to DTV are horrible. Every American channel has a Canadian counterpart that most ppl agree is awful.
There are A LOT of people cracking these cards for many people here on a regular basis.
So many of us pirate DTV it doesn't feel wrong. Whether it is or not I could give a fuck...
I remember Black Sunday when all the cards went down. Since then it has been more difficult to keep cards up and running.
DTV should bring a legit service to our country (Some say our Gov't wouldn't let them in...which is understandable. The CBC was created to keep Canadians from becomming "too American"). I bet a lot of people who are tired of paying a lot of money to have their cards re-activated would turn to the legit service if it was a resonable price.
Unless of course the porno channels are pay-per-view, then DirectTV would surely loose all their suscribers to pirates.

Look at all the pointless first posts, this submission must have attracted the MTV crowd. I played right into it. Shit.
