The loss estimates are quite rediculous. Anyone that uses a pirate card is unwilling to pay anyway. Maybe they are out a few pay per views a year, but these people dont want to pay

Receiving the signal costs DirectTV NOTHING.

They bloat the figures to raise the bar on punishment.

Doing some time for getting caught at this crime is justifiable. Owing DirectTV $24m is stupid.
