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
