    Stay well clear of that guy, what you require is very delicate to talk about on here - Trust me though, that "subscription" isn't necessary from him.

    With a DM you really need to go motorized to get the full benefit of it, the install & the motor and the above equipment would leave you in the region of €500 out of pocket.

    Linux is the way forward.

    The person you are referring to hasn't said anything involving illegal activities.

    You just presumed they did.
