When you try to download the speed camera poi as a new person it says you have to register...
Fair enough, not a problem.
Then AFTER you register you then find out you have to pay to get the download.
No offence guys but you are no better than all the other scam artists on the net. I dont have a problem with paying, but have the balls to be honest and up front.
At the end of the day you are just doing your bit to encourage illegal BT downloads (which I will be looking for now.....) |

What a load of rubbish. It is quite clear from the beginning that if you want the cameras you have to subscribe. Suggest you read carefully. In any event what have you lost - just a few seconds signing up - how can that be a scam??
Or are you just looking for an excuse to break the law by syealing the database anyway?

This individual will be back because he won't have a clue how to install whatever he gets from whatever source.
And I'll lay money on it that he re-registers under a different name because I for one would not waste my time with him nor should others  |

I can't see how it's a con. If you don't pay then you don't get the database and if you do pay then you do get the database!
Where's the con exactly?

Were not talking Photoshop CS here, its just a £2 set of files. A set of files that anyone can screwup with Excel. Are you realy going to trust your licence to a BT for the sake of £2? Give your head a shake. |

topic has been discussed many times before.
the speed camera database has been charged for for about 4 months now so can hardly be classed as a new thing. if you want to risk downloading from torrents then go ahead, we can't stop you. but trust me when i say the data on them isn't very good ;)
so don't come complaining when the dodgy database you got gives you false warnings or has camera's in bushes etc...
