Actually, as I said somewhat in passing in my original message, the cable companies can sue you for theft of signal, not theft of service (you can't steal a service) or theft of the TV show (which is still there, unchanged). I.e. they contend that you stole the actual electrons (or photons, if you have an optic fiber cable) delivered to your home that you didn't pay for. This is somewhat ridiculous, of course... but, hey, it's what you get when you start looking into legalese. Common sense has no place in there. -- Vincent ARCHER [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel : +33 (0)1 40 07 47 14 Fax : +33 (0)1 40 07 47 27 Deny All - 5, rue Scribe - 75009 Paris - France www.denyall.com _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
