I still dont get what *exactly* he did that was illegal. so far as i can make out those signals are transmitted free through the air. after all i cant choose not to have their signals anywhere near me, even if i were to belive something like the signals are evil. (the electromagnetic spectrum gets everywhere, you would be supprised! these siganls even if inteded for america will still reach the rest of the planet

). so all he did was find a way to decrypt free signals! just because the companys didnt like it becase they were selling there own decryption, how does that warrant such a huge punishment? he should get a medal [img]smile.gif[/img]
