Once again, with feeling: It's totally legal to sell cable descramblers. It's totally legal to *use* cable descramblers, so long as you notify the cable company you're using it so that they can bill accordingly. It's *illegal* to use one to obtain free programming. What is difficult to understand about this? Legal purchase and use of a cable descrambler is an alternative to paying a monthly fee to your cable company for rental of their box and remote. Jesus, do you own your own phone, or do you still rent it from AT&T? Same damn difference.
