I think that the point is being missed here, the original poster has been paying for a file which connects him to a commercial card sharing server (therefor he must already have an internet connection), so unless he pays for the new conf file, he loses the connection, that's it, end of story.
I have to say that there are always going to be bottom feeders who see an opportunity to make money out of something they have no right to sell, commercial card sharing is just another example of this and when they get caught, I have no sympathy whatsoever.
Perhaps the purchase of an ART card may be the way around this, it isn't as if they are hugely expensive.
