        Dear Friends,



        In the past Weeks things are moving in bad directions.

        I had never anything against it, that anyone uses the gbox. The only
        thing I am asking is not to spread it on upload centers, in images,
        and not to discuss it in public Board areas. It is only about security,
        nothing else. And security has a higher priority then the freedom of
        speech.

        Money was NEVER a subject. I and my Friends have NEVER taken a Penny
        for the gbox, a nds keyfile, or for anything else ! Everyone claiming
        different is simply NOT telling the true.


        I am very sad that people do not respect my/our wishes. The situation
        is bad, and it will become even worse. The nds security officers and
        lawyers have begone knocking on our doors, and The Hydra Team was
        already forces to quit. And more others will follow.


        This is not a game any more, if you are not cooperative they are
        threatening with a Multimillion US$ lawsuit, and even there is a chance
        that you could win the case, the lawyer and court costs will ruin
        everyone. The EU (and other) laws are very restrictive against hacking,
        only the menshioning of the word Emu/Softcam is seen as illegal, or
        only the pmt.tmp implementation can be seen as a crime animation. So,
        a lot of people that have made a big (NONPROFIT) contribution to the
        DVB Scene will become big trouble, people that have spent a lot of
        theyre free time to develop Software for all of you, time that they
        could have spend with theyre wifes and kids.

        And all of this is happening because some guys did not respect these
        developers, people like adas that are uploading the gbox on upload
        centers, people like Sandali (owner of http://opencam.altervista.org)
        that has cracked the gbox nds keyfile, people like Goran, that are
        animating discussions about the gbox, and Boards like Satdudez that
        are tollerating and not banning such discussions.

        You are bringing us all into danger, you are making us to rethink if
        we should spend our free time in a different way. I simply do not
        understand ! What motive could Sandali have, to publish in his gbox
        crack, my eeprom key, he is directly threatening my Friend that has
        given me the key from his box, he can now be tracked and it is to
        expect that legal action against him will follow.


        Thank you Sandali, you know why this nds eeprom keyfile was there, to
        protect that eeprom key that you have published. In the nds key file
        the card serial was crypted together with the eeprom key, and if anyone
        had published the eeprom key, he would publish also his cards serial.
        That was the ONLY reason !!! Everyone that has requested such a keyfile,
        had got one from me, EVERYONE, free of charge, money was NEVER taken.
        For this Subject I don't blame only Sandali, I also blame all other
        that were informed of what he intended to do, and have take no action
        to convince him to stop, in order "to avoid trouble" !

        And now explain me Sandali why you have published the private eeprom
        key ? You are not a Hero Sandali, you are the opposite. You have harmed
        a lot of people with your action, people that have done more for the
        community that you have, people that have never done anything against
        you, people that would have helped you for anything, if you have asked
        them.


        Alea iacta ennt

        I have been asked from my Friend that have helped my with the nds
        camcrypt, to remove it from the gbox. I am loyal to my Friends, and I
        have done so. The gbox is NOT supporting nds cards any more. I hope
        this will help my Friend to ease the preasure on him.


        If things continue to move in the wrong direction, I will consider to
        stop developing this Software for the wider public. I will just make
        it just for me and several real Friends I have.


        It's up to you now.
