bigpoppanils Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 O.J. Accused of Stealing DirecTV Signal Monday, March 08, 2004MIAMI — DirecTV (search) is accusing O.J. Simpson (search) of pirating its satellite television signal.In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court in Miami, the company demanded the former football star pay DirecTV $20,000. Federal agents removed satellite TV equipment from Simpson's house in the Miami neighborhood of Kendall during a search in 2001. DirecTV alleges the devices were "bootloaders," for unscrambling the company's signals. The raid occurred as authorities were investigating Simpson and others in an alleged Ecstasy (search) and satellite-theft ring. Simpson was never charged. Simpson attorney Yale Galanter denied the lawsuit's allegations. "O.J. Simpson has never owned any pirating equipment, pirating cards, illegal cards," he said. "He's been a loyal, paying customer of DirecTV for years." DirecTV is controlled by News Corp., the parent company of the Fox News Channel, which operates FOXNews.com. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,113599,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
