Endless War

After reading the article about DirecTV. I found the war between DirecTV and hacking community just likes that between codemakers and codebreakers. It requires advanced technology and carefulness. It is a war without smoke and irrelated with military. However, it damages both producers and consumers' benefits and security.

I just wonder whether or not there is some law designed for banning hackers' attack and then protecting public safety. In some way, the fighting between DirecTV and hacking community can promote development of technology. Nonetheless, overall, it is not good for society's stability and will cause a great amount of loss for coporations and customers.

As for code itself, "h" card is the main key in the whole case. DirecTV try improving the technique to protect the cards' information and destroying the cards, which were caught by hacking community. While hacking community just want to catch the satellite stream and gain the cards' information and then change them.

The procedure repeats again and again, and then the war between DirecTV and hacking community is endless.
