I wonder if Free-X are that bothered about being hacked. From what I read in a French satellite magazine, the broadcast rights for their programming cost peanuts. Their business model is based on the profits from advertising dodgy telephone services and rather than from selling subscriptions, so the more viewers the merrier.

It would be interesting to know how much they make on every Skycrypt cam sold but it can't be very much when they're being offered at €100 each on the continent.
