Hello!

Do view a channel legal you must buy a abo. But you also need some hardware,
i.e. a CI modul and this is deveolped by a company how want to get money for
there work. So you can also build a modul but you must buy license to
produce a black box how woks like the original CI modul

Would you please explain why it is illegal to view eg. Canal+ with this
software?
I always thought that the smartcart contains the right to view these
channels. After reading this webpage again, I am still thinking, that
the software drives a smartcard reader and REQUIRES a LEGAL SMARTCARD.

Where could I conclude that this software is illegal ?

Please keep in mind that the use of this program is just ILLEGAL since
you
don't own a SECA-license.

As always, the expensive thing is the LICENSE you buy (if you own a CI)
and
not the hardware itself.

(I don't know why aston is still so happy, but i just want to protect
you
and all other developers from HUGE legal problems with Canal+ et al.)
