    Great to know that someone here is always quick on the case to bring us the latest codes once a roll has taken place but I'm wondering if this is gonna be a regular thing with the CC's? With the auto-roll/auto update not working the codes need to be passed manually.

    I'm sure that they are well aware of the information being passed on in this forum and others like it and they will have also learnt that in the battle of provider vs subscriber, information is king and they would need to stem the flow of information in order to try beat us (the subscriber) into submission.

    Which leads me to the point I'd like to make,

    If the CC's know this information is flowing from these threads then won't they try to gag it by slapping legal threats upon the services that facilitate the transfer of this information?

    I'm thinking of the comparison with the whole peer2peer and downloading of illegal music situation and the fact that the record companies have combined and are suing an Irish telecoms company for "allowing" people to download over their network.

    It would be all to easy for the CC's to band together and collectively take a similar action, roll the keys and then sit and watch as we all run around like headless chickens.

    Let the debate begin...

    Looks like I could be right! They rolled again on the 9th so it's only a matter of time before they shove their smelly socks in our mouths (euggghhhh!)
