My point was, if they did threaten you with a lawsuit today, you can simply go to court and ask them to show how you could hack into the card with an unlooper. Since the death of the p3 the hardware is useless. You'd win. You can't be guilty of doing something that's impossible to do.
Of course they stopped. DTV killed of the HU cards a couple months ago. The 'unloopers' (those things DTV was suing everyone over - they were used to get into the HU card to program it) are now useless since the current DTV card is unaffected by them. Nice spin though, if you didn't know better you might actually believe the EFF accomplished something.
