Apparantly some of the big forums that help out the users of these illegal boxes have been closed down as of this morning. digitalworldz and world-of-digital cable sections have gone!

A good example of why we do not, and will not ever, permit discussion regarding the use of 'chipped' boxes or 'cloned' modems. We know it happens but people can go elsewhere to talk about it if they must.

After the recent events in the news we are checking all the cable sections to make sure they fully comply with the law.

We do not condone people stealing or defrauding cable companies and we will do our utmost to be a law abiding site and if that means closing the cable sections then that is what will happen.

We have not closed the sections because we think its illegal or we host anything illegal it is because we have always thought of our forums as educational and for that purpose only and because the site is so large that I personally do not know of every file or post that resides on our servers so we will be checking this before the sections come back (if they come back).

Digital World was created for the discussion of various technical topics and was not solely created for the discussion of cable and WAS NEVER CREATED for the use of illegal software materials including guides which I have no knowledge of.

Anyone also found to be using digital world for any illegal services or purposes will be removed without. notice.

The thing is that it's not illegal to share the software, keys, methods with anyone, but it is illegal to implement them for your own or someone elses usage. I can see thier point though that the forum was hijacked and turned into a place where people wanting to break the laws could find the required info. Hence you can see CABLEFORUMS views on trying to stop the same happening here....

We should not be picking up on only the laws that we want upheld and ignoring those that we as individuals think are petty.That way leads to anarchy and chaos.

If you don't like a law, campaign through your MP to get it changed, not just ignore it and call folk names for believing in the law.

a drug dealer wouldnt grass on another drug dealer, a smack head would tho as they get paid for giving the police info & then they'l buy more gear with the money.

OK, put another way thats less dramatic.

I know somebody who is stealing from my local corner shop. So I report the person who was doing it to the police. I dont like the person and I think prices are going to/have gone up because of all the theft. If I dont give a monkeys about any other customer then it is for selfish reasons and therefore I should keep my mouth shut.

Still doesn't work does it.

And yes prices do rise on a product or service if people steal it to cover those who are not paying.

ok im not saying that crime isint wrong ppl are misunderstanding me here, what i am saying however is that you shouldnt do it cuz your bitter about it.

Thats just stupid logic. I cant report anyone doing anything illegal because im doing it for myself? Jesus what a point of view that is.

What world do you live in?Of course they would if only to get rid of the competition.

And I'm sure some some chippers and cloners would do the same to their competition too.

I wasnt talking about drug dealers, I was talking about your stupid logic of not been able to report someone doing something illegal if it only benefits myself.
