CCcam and other softcams may not be illegal as such, they live in a very grey area and in the UK we have no other option but to use softcams if we want to use a offical sky card in any thing but a sky box. some of our european cousins on the mainland have a more liberal way of thinking, but in the UK sky have a monopoly over satellite based transmissions.
Basically rupert murdock has his hand so far up this and previous governments backsides that he can get away with and do pretty much as he likes in this area. in the same way that he was ordered to produce a NDS cam unit for sale and didnt bother.
ok so i went off topic a little but i felt the need to have a rant so i did.

Having a some legal background I can say that the softcams, software and 3rd party receivers are not illegal. As far as I am aware in the UK there has not been a single legal case banning the use of such software.
I can also point out that card sharing is not illegal in practice. What is illegal is selling services and profiting from items you are not permitted to sell, which infringes on copyright law and a few others as well.
Case 1 - A person has a legitimate subscription registered to his / her property. They use the third party software to share their very legitimate sub to another receiver in their home which is registered with the provider. There is no infringement on any law in this land, and anybody who says there is will need to point me in the direction of the case which has the law / statute behind it.
In case 1 - if the person with the legitimate sub shares it with themselves even at another property i.e. a 2nd home, where only they will access the service that is subscribed too will be hard pushed to be breaking the law.
However, if at any point you resell these services you are breaking lots of laws which carry severe penalties.
In the UK (suppose it goes for europe as well) I can almost certainly that there will never be a case of anyone being prosecuted when they are sharing with themselves or not for profit, and the reason being that if the providers lost the case that - which I think they would, that would set a precedent and it would be open season.
So in answer to the question, 3rd party software used with recievers is not illegal at all. If you think different point me in the direction of laws where people have been prosecuted who have not been selling a service they are not entitled too.
FP.
Edit - at worst it is breaking terms of service - which is civil law and not criminal.

well i would disagree with that, it may not be illegal but in the case of sky uk who charge for "multi room" subs, you will find your sub cancelled imminently and your self on a lifetime black list if they ever discovered you sharing your card with other receivers in your own home.

Technically it is uk law as it comes under copywrite theft due to the softcam circumventing the protection algorithms of the card and im fairly certain the same would apply to all european countries if pushed.
Card sharing has always been a taboo subject that was tolerated by the service providers, this has now changed due to the massive amounts of users obtaining channels illegally without contributing any thing back the same thing hapened with uk cable.

And do you really think our providers would support CCcam if that would be illegal?
