    No but if you're caught with a hard drive full of pirated material AND the encryption keys for those releases then you're gonna have a hard time in court. The keys need not be gove…

    Looks like great fun. I'm always tempted to have a go at things like this myself when I see reports like this. One day... One question. Did you choose the video cameras based on si…
