new newcamd v13

Official release newcamd v5.13

We have noticed that some of the newcamd distribution files violating our
rules for newcamd distribution have been removed from certain upload
centers. Therefore we make a full release this time.

However, we also notice, there are still many files around that do NOT comply
to the distribution terms set below, particularly complete images with all
keys inside. We again ask uploaders to remove such files and we also ask
admins to not allow such files on their upload centers.

Further action might be taken in the future, if our rules about newcamd
distribution are continously violated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is our firm believe that access to Free-TV is made way to easy for
people at the moment and we are seriously considering disallowing the
distribution of future newcamd releases inside flash images. We have been
following a public policy up until now, because we wanted to provide a free
alternative to the never ending greed of the commerical pirates. But we do
believe however, that we can ask everyone wanting to use our software, to get
out of their TV armchairs and pause the growing of their asses (to quote the
writer of a certain FAQ) long enough to learn how to upload a couple of files
to their boxes via ftp, read the supplied documentation and edit a couple of
keyfiles. Everybody can learn how to do that easily, and we mean EVERYBODY.
We feel that anyone claiming the contrary, is just too lazy to even try.
To sum up, we believe all the emu images and full automatic internet key
downloads at the push of a button are hurting the Free-TV community more then it
serves it by forcing Pay-TV providers to implement stronger countermeasures and
we would ask all image makers out there to rethink their position.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And since we are discussing politics already, some recent news bulletins on
several news services indicated the European Union thinking about forcing Pay-
TV providers to offer their services beyond national borders to anyone who wants
a subscription. We strongly support such a move and we pledge that the emu and
cardsharing facilities in newcamd would be discontinued if Pay-TV providers
would start to offer their services internationally under the same conditions
they offer it to national residents. In particular:

1. same choice and contents of all channel packages (no stripped-down
international subscriptions like Digiturk Euro).
2. same prices as for national customers

It was never the intention of the newcamd Team that people would use it to steal
the services of their national Pay-TV provider (or any other provider they could
officially subscribe to). If and when everyone would be able to officially
subscribe to any Pay-TV package he wants to, under the same conditions as
everyone else and regardless of where he lives, we would feel newcamd becoming
kind of obsolete. The only reason why we make newcamd support emu and card
sharing is to overcome this discrimination by Pay-TV providers to offer official
subscriptions to national residents only.

History:

newcamd v5.13
cardserver: fix handling of single control word Viaccess ECMs
newcamd/cardserver/cardspider: add support for Nagra1 original smartcards
cardserver: better overload handling (hopefully)
cardserver: new priority scheme - users with lower user id will be
serviced first
cardserver/Dreambox: support Phoenix cardreaders on USB->RS232 adapters
using devices /dev/usb/tts/0,1,2,3,... this feature depends on a driver
for your particular USB->RS232 adapter being insmod into the kernel of
your image, your particular USB->RS232 driver supporting RS232
handshaking signal generation and on the particular card used.
Basically this feature should be considered unstable and for advanced
users only

AT LAST BUT here we go agan!

"Here's our EMU BUT DON'T you dare use it!"

I promise I will not download this file, put it on an image and add any keys to watch TV! I further swear that I have never nor will I ever use, add keys to, upload in whole or in part, any part of this archive to watch TV.



It's OK though I use SCAM

Please better support Irdeto2 (0604) provider 000010 in cardspider (for example showtime on Nilesat 7W).

Cheers and tnx for good work

@dirty

That's not at all what they're saying and I think its pretty unfair to distort anyone's words like that.

All they said is that if you want to re-distribute the complete zip, don't distribute a version you or someone else has messed up. And if you distribute it with an image, don't include the keys.

Pretty simple no? Most of us don't even do any distribution at all. The ones who do are being asked to either comply or distribute an emu whose authors are less fussy.

The fact that several people don't give a rat's ass about the authors' request and will break even these simple rules does not make the request unreasonable. It makes the people who ignore the request unreasonable.

oh come on guys... the same subject has been going on and on...you can not break the simple rules the releasers are requesting...if it is their will not to include keys and/or add complete solution into images it is our duty to respect that!! They don't want any money...is respect even more expensive for u guys?? get a grip i thank all the newcamd developers...they are doing a superb job! Thank you all

i trully hope for new releases .. keep up the good work

Since that will not likely happen due to territorial restrictions on content licensing, we're safe for a while, probably a very long one

They are not saying you cannot use the softcam! They are saying it cannot be distributed with keys etc. The end user is perfectly free to change it and add keys etc to suit him/herself. They are saying the end user should be expected to do a little work and the fully working softcam should not be given them on a plate.

@Grezzzzz

I know exactly what you mean but I disagree with you completely.

No one in their right minds or wildest dreams could expect such "requests" as made in the Newcamd Team's "cover my ass" disclaimer, to work. It is completely unreasonable and why does ONLY the Newcamd Team demand such a rediculous thing?

It's totally unworkable. We know that and so do they, so why the big issue?

Enough said on this. It'spointless anyway coz what will be will be and there are plenty of other EMU's.

A BIG pity though because Newcamd is such a damned good one and it's continued development and support can only be described as most excellent and much appreciated.

[grezz]

As you like - but I intend to use newcamd because the authors have never said otherwise. And I won't be distributing, but if I do it will only be the original zip.

By the way, in spite of you calling their request 'totally unreasonable', the file people like hazem (of all in one fame) have already complied. The world didn't stop turning when he did.
