Sky cards from XL Trading
Comments

with regards to defamation, the law states that if it makes you appear worse in the public eye, defamation has occured.
For instance, If I was to say the Prime Minister has a penchant for boys, that would be defamation. If I was to say that Myra Hydley was a auld slapper, legally, it wouldnt be defamation because her reputation could not be tarnished further.
After reading these threads and reading your posts XL, I am wondering if when the judge has finished reading your input, he may side with the latter.
Regina V MSEr's? LOL.
If B&Q could not get my site down and they have deep pockets and solicitors visiting my old site daily, you don;t stand much chance. P.s your beef is not with me as I have not defamed you and up until your first few posts, I thought you were being a bit harsly treated. Then I realised you are fair game.0 -
XL Trading, havent you got a business to run? You will need it taking this forum to court.0

I have had 1 of there skyworld cards got 3 months out of it, odered 2 more but no show got my money back. Probaly not worth the risk
Do you still happen to have the card? SKY would be very interested in the viewing card number to trace from whom and where the card originated from. Even if you dont have the card when you activated the card through the installer menu it would have logged your SKY box serial number and telephone number the box called from. They could trace it from them pieces of information.
You have nothing to worry about as your helping SKY out and as XL Trading says these cards are totally legal.0 -

Again,as a Sky Accredited Engineer,I find that very hard to believe.As to replacement viewing cards,if your's goes faulty,Sky will replace it for free & anyway,it may not be the card thats faulty,could be the box itself or require a forced software update.0 -

I dare you to imply that we get our stuff from Pirate Bay, I absolutely dare you to print this on here in front of the whole world to read. That would be total defamation because you could not prove it.
*I* will say it. You are a crook, a thief and a charaltan who deals in stolen property on a totally illegal web page which sells pirated cd's and stolen Sky cards. I have already given you my IP but you don't respond.
This is not defamation it is FACT!
Come on big boy, sue me!0 -
Got to go out but some more info that someone could look into. Maybe totally unrelated though.

That is a proper Limited company that is registered & looks totally legit.
No one should assume this has anything to do with XLtrading.co.uk or XLtrading.net.
However they may be interested in someone trading under a very similar name.Not Again0 -

Am I legally entitled to make a backup of my original software?
The rules regarding back up copies apply to software; they do not apply to other copyrights such as film and sound
recordings. Since computer games comprise of a number of such rights, the answer so far as computer games is concerned
is that making a back up copy is not a permitted act under copyright law.
So far as copyright in software is concerned the law provides that the lawful user may make a backup
"where it is necessary for him to have for the purposes of his lawful use". This clause dates back to the time of the 16-bit
machines when, because of the volatility of floppy discs and problems with software carried on tape cassettes,
back up copies were thought necessary. Therefore, it is ELSPA’s view that it is no longer necessary for users to create
backups of their software. This view is underlined in the judgment in the case relating to the illegal chipping of
PSX consoles referred to below. *
Pirate web sites with disclaimers stating "you are legally entitled to make one backup copy..." etc.
misrepresent the legal position. In the words of Mr Justice Jacob in the above case "Back ups are not necessary at all".
Moreover, offering commercially to provide back up copies for users, or discs with illicit
games purportedly for the consumer to sample, are very likely to be infringing acts and may also lead to the
commission of criminal offences carrying a penalty of up to 10 years imprisonment.0 -
