I have to oppose your views, mate: Piracy CREATES jobs. If there weren't all these great guys busting their arses for us to be able to watch encrypted TV for free, all the programmers employed by the big broadcasters would be out of jobs...same goes for all the mathematicians employed to develop new encryption systems to replace the already hacked ones...What about all the staff these "poor" companies hire to try to find out what is going on in the sat sites (like this one)? What about all the lot of suited lawyers employed by them to prosecute and persecute sat freedom fighters? Not to speak of the secretaries, helpers, arse lickers, telephonists and tea ladies employed for various sections of these big corporations that are directly involved in the encryption matter? And if you are so righteous, you might want to consider the companies who manufacture the cards that are being replaced every now and then? The printers who provide the big companies with all their printed matter regarding this?
If there wasn't piracy, a lot of people would loose their jobs and would be very unhappy. A lot of us would be very unhappy because we cannot watch our beloved football team on TV because we live in the wrong country of the European (TV) Segregated Union, and the only happy people would be a very small section of the top of the big companies, who would earn a few millions more than they already do.
So, here it is again: Thumbs up to the freedom fighters, site builders, moderators, tech expert and normal members who contribute to this and similar sites! Every time you watch ManU on TV Sport Romania, every time you watch mature content on 30 west, every time you tune in to Canal+ just because you can (and can't understand a word they are saying) you are making sure someone is getting paid by the end of the month.
