How much you have lost?

i have to agree the site should be shut down for a long time ago. They are showing a lot of people to get FREE SATELLINE TV WITHOUT PAYING A PENNY.

Im really happy the site is gone forever

good for you

what were they trying to sell?

fake sat dishes?

a small receiver "card" that allows you to get ALL the channels for FREE. It is piratacy and quite illegal.

I know lots of people that get direct tv ...for the miminum price, then they find a "card swapper" that will imprint your card with all the signals for all the channels...including, Payperview, movies, sports...everything, but about every 3 or 4 weeks you will have to have your card wired again as the security of direct tv scambles the singals. So basically you are getting it for FREE.

it wasn't a virus--it was a forced download.....and that was months ago when they first opened.

yep

This one stank as soon as it appeared...

i never believed for a second they would pay, people are still taken in by the little $$$ symbols in their eyes (wish I had a smilie for that...)

That's why sites like this scam everyone, time and time again.

*someone who didn't fall for it*

Agreed

Um... I dunno. It might have been forced, but seeing the Signup page is still there at http://www.webflash.com/dishcash/add.cgi , the Terms page http://www.webflash.com/dishcash/dishterms.html is still there, and the Info page... http://www.webflash.com/dishcash/dishfaq.html

Hmmm. Funnily, once you are in there the only page that is gone is - gasp - the Stats page!

Hmmmph and double hmmph. I am "not happy, Jan".

Well atleast I've heard that people have been paid by them which I never did hear about DishCash so I guess they're different (atleast for now)

I have to agree with you. Their activities were illegal and i'm glad they have shut down.

just to shed some light, just as Webflash is illegal for selling free Payperview, so is Mod-chip

http://www.playstation-modchip.info/

For those who do not know what a mod chip is, it is a device that you can attach to your gaming system which will allow it to play pirated or burned copies of CD games
so It wouldn't be surprising that Modchip follows the same fate as Webflash sometime soon

Mod chips arent illegal. It just voids your warranty on the system. You can use mod-chips to do illegal things yes, but the seller has liabiliy warnings in their TOS and they say this is for educational purposes only. So the seller of the modchips have done nothing illegal, it is the user doing the illegal stuff.

SPAM!

I don't think the gaming companies who produce games would agree. It's like the music industry getting up in arms over MP3 downloads, you really think that people are going to use these program's that enable a person to play a copied disk if they already have the original? I think not. Let's say someone has the original copy of a game and his friend doesn't but wants one, the person with the original copy of the game burns his friend a copy, then gives it to him free; a CD video game can cost anywhere from $25 to $90 , this is one less game that the gaming companies sell, and Mod-Chips are considered illegal because they open the door for piracy. Sure some people may use them legitametly, but that may be 1 in 100 people. If these products were not on the market Music, DVD's and CD games would probably be less expensive to buy.

it's a catch-22 situation with any form of media, video, music, software or games, about what you can and can not copy and your intended use of these copies, yes their are honest people who truelly intend to make just back-up copies of their media and this is considered quite legal, but because of the overwhelming piracy, media companies were forced to take action, that even music companies are demanding that their commercial CD's be copy protected so that they can not work on PC cd drives which is also how Games are copied in order to be played with the use of a Modchip:

I'm from Canada and we have a paper called the "Buy$Sell", where you can sell just about anything. In the section for Video Games they have a heading that states that it is illegal to purchase any form of Copied Media, yet it is still advertised, because the paper itself can't verify the legitamcy of the product. I recall buying a copy of Paintshop Pro for $20, thinking at that price it must be used, when the copy was delivered to me it was a burned copy

In Canada and several other countries a levy is charged and all forms of blank media intended for copy of commercial media for personal use, this Levey is to benefit Registered Artists in the Music and Video industry.

I can understand the point of view of the Music and gaming industries and how it affects the Artist and producers of their product. They put their hard work into developing their Music or art, and that they feel it's a form of stealing when it's copied for other purposes outside ones own personal use.
Just yesterday I was reading a members post here about their site being copied by someone from China, in fact this member even went so far as to make another site design, and again this person from China copied it, the member here was quite upset about this and he should be.
I have also noticed the skyrocketing prices in Music CD's and other forms of media ever since the abilitiy to copy them came into light, and I truelly feel this wouldn't be the case if media in itself was made impossable to copy, which is what some record companies are working on.A CD 5 years ago would have cost me $9 CAD, now I'm paying at least $24 for one. In fact, I do have a CD that will not play on my PC, all I get when I put it in my CD drive is a Macromedia Flash page about the Artist, no music will play at all, although I have heard there is away around this.
Now as for Modchip.com, why would anyone want to support a company that could very well be undergoing legal action, if not now but in the near future? if Sony can shut down one Modchip site, what's to say that they are not fully aware of this one or are in the process of filing suite against them? Just with these factor's alone would make me not want to waste my time spitting in the wind promoting it.

Microsoft has been encoding their PC games for years now. I know because its a pain in the a$$ to get past it. But any coding can and will be broken, it just delays people a few minutes.
