Ooph we had a satellite dish in a rural area, and a hacked descrambler box in the 80s when I was growing up. Truly the golden age. We went from that to 56k modems with pirated music / movies in terrible quality, to the Pirate Bay. Consumers will always bitch slap greedy companies, and I love it.
Videocypher 2. Point and click. Everything and ANYthing was available 24/7. Entire broadcast for east and west coast - all channels - all the time - Absolultely insane!!
Chicago saw a signal hijacking about a year after this when someone attempted to overpower WGN's signal but failed, but was successful in hijacking the local PBS station's signal to broadcast a weird video mocked up to look like a Max Headroom video. The hijacker was never caught and has become something of a local underground legend.
Even to this day we have situations that the law is not prepared for, such as AI generated content and who owns it/what it legally represents, stuff just keeps getting more and more complicated. Very good video man, I hope you start getting more views really soon
Just rewatched this gem. Hope you’re coming back soon!

My grandfather watched it all for free back in the late 70s and 80s.

So the FCC got worried about signal jamming, but didn't raise an eyebrow when HBO quadrupled their ERP.
Interesting....
