I think, the parallels to DVD and CSS shed some more light here: If you bought a DVD, you have the right to watch it in any licensed DVD player as often as you like. However, using an open source DVD player based on DeCSS to watch your DVD is illegal, because DeCSS is a non-licensed decoder for CSS, and could be used for illegal copies. Same here: SoftCAM is an unlicensed decrypter and does not prevent card emulation and/or sharing. Because of that, it is illegal. Things would be different if the CAM protocol would be an open standard protocol that allows such usage. Cheers, Udo
