Seems maybe there's a 256-character limit on the history page. I said the rename was due to an unnecessarily long title and tried to give the pointer for headlines -- [1]

The new title is 10 times better. I was trying to not use Piracy as last time I did Richard Stallman contact me about use of the word. Given that the bloke is a complete legend I took on board what he had to say :) - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 07:29, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about whether or not to include this[edit]

Satellite enthusiasts believe that the software being distributed by the man in the article was what they call "card sharing software". I did not think this is worth of inclusion as it is speculation.

Basically, this card sharing software was developed by a guy named "Sid" who distributed it via torrent sites. It allowed a person with one legitimate card to share it amongst a virtually unlimited number of set top boxes.

Australian pay TV providers have been fighting unauthorised access for a while, in 2004, they began rolling out a new encryption system after the old one had been compromised for a number of years - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 01:34, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
