It all sounds pretty complicated to me!

To my best knowledge, there isn't any law
on cable/satellite tv here...,
(sat-tv is a fairly recent phenomenon so they
haven't had time to pass a law yet)
An owner of a tv-set is required by law to
purchase a license.
(i bought a license just to be on the safe side,
though i dont know anybody else who's bought
one...!)
Though sat-tv company will probably cut you off if
they find out, is it possible for them to find out
free-loaders of this kind through their equipment?
