[Bug 683586] [NEW] OSCam, software emulated CAM

 

Public bug reported:

OSCam is an Open Source Conditional Access Module software.
more info on:
http://streamboard.gmc.to:8001/

depends on:
build-essential  cmake  gcc, subversion, libusb-dev and  libssl-dev .

Some people consider the use of a softcam illegal. My opinion is that a
softcam can be used illegally, but if you use it in combination with a
valid subscription card on one PC only it is perfectly legal. In fact I
see no difference with a real CAM, which contains the same kind of
software (firmware).
