He's just stating the rules. If you don't like the rules, make your own list.<br>

<br>
How detailed did he get that he broke the rules?<br>
I.e.: what details can be revealed in a similar case without breaking any rules?<br>
Is that in the rules?<br>
Is that up to interpretation?<br>
<br>
Please clarify so I know how to behave here.<br>

(and yes, I only receive FTA stuff) <br>

"Similarly, discussion of the use of softcam to decrypt encrypted digital broadcasts ... is prohibited."<br>
<br>
From the point open-sasc-ng was /mentioned/, it became off limits. Note that the rule does not state that "detailed discussion" is prohibited. All discussion is prohibited.<br>

Why not quote the whole sentence, Mike? if you do, you'll find that it can be read another way:<br>
<br>
"Similarly, discussion of the use of softcam to decrypt encrypted digital broadcasts or *any other means of obtaining programming illegally* or through means which may be a violation of copyright laws or terms of service is prohibited."<br>
</blockquote><div><br><br>Serious question:<br>Why is discussion of playing encrypted disks with mythvideo (nee mythdvd) not immediately yelled at and banished from the list?<br> <br></div></div>Usually it's "we don't support decss, but if you link to it we can't stop you." Why is sasc-ng different? I completely understand why an intro of "I've got 15 cams I downloaded from...." is banned, but not why dvd (and blu-ray) discussion is not banned.<br>
<br>I've even seen people linking to sites and talking about anydvd for getting rid of copy protection on blu-rays (in the vdpau threads) without rebuke!<br>
