One of the most popular reason to crack pics, particularly the 16c6x and
16c84 is because they are widely used in smartcards for satellite
television.  I understand there is a booming market in Europe, and
particularly in the UK for hacked smartcards to acquire/steal television
signals.  Also, I have heard that the recent 18" DBS systems in the USA (the
RCA, Sony, etc. systems that use DirectTV or USSB) smartcards use a 16c6x
part, and that the hackers prefer the 16c84 because they can blow them again
and again when the satellite company implements "countermeasures"...
  These folks want to disassemble the smartcard code so they can steal
television.  They are stealing software in order to do that.
  Help them if you want, but you could become an accomplice to a *felony* if
you assist them in stealing television programming...
