Using SDR in Europe (or Norh America) is of course to cheat- It has
nothing  to do with amateur radio. However, I don´t think it´ll be a major
problem since the cheater is easily revealed. He is surrounded by many
real radio amateurs with good receiving antennas and receivers. In a short
while it becomes very well known who is cheating.
It is not possible, as an example, to work a rare pacific station in broad
daylight when a dozen of real hams within a few miles
 from the cheater, armed with various beverages and good rx  don´t even
hear a whisper on freq. The cheating guy generally goes qrt for ever when
it becomes known what he has been doing. Especially if he is on top of
dxcc nationallisting.
73 and a happy new year
