I agree with you. Please do not discuss any illegal software and 
hardware here. One could argue that some filters (funnily even a 
Siemens filter) already regard this mailing list as criminal with
dangerous knowledge or something like this but this does not mean
we have to confirm this.

Discussion about how to use the CI adapter and CAMs + legally
subscribed cards are welcome. 
A SoftCAM which still needs a legal subscription card also does not
have to be illegal but could create problems with patents or trade 
secret (who knows details about this?).
Things like FreeCAMs, smartcard emulators and PIC cards definitely
should not be discussed here.
Thanks.

Ralph
