[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 214, member: 174998"] local Dutch law was invoked (specifically, "Artikel 326c" of the "Wetboek van Strafrecht") But in May 2000 a EU directive was enacted across the union requiring that at that date each member state would have in place their own similar legislation (for outlawing the circumvention of payments where due to broadcasters/providers). Up until that date, the bizarre situation had existed in the UK and some other countries that although it was both illegal and unspeakibly immoral to tamper with the good ol' home-grown broadcasts, it was self-evidently just jolly tikaboo to bleed dry those nasty foreign ones. Hence the past proliferation in the UK of commercial hacks for D2MAC, mediaguard (the SNAC card) and scores of others. In point of fact, the Dutch article 326c was placed on the statute books long before that Eu directive came into force. Trouble is, the Dutch are tought even as embryos to arbitrarily do the opposite of what any authority figure tells them to. It may be genetic. Probably the judge in Axel looked at what the judge in den Bosch had already decided in the Xtra-Sat case, and was genetically unable to stop himself ruling completely the opposite. Er, or something. 2old [/QUOTE]
