However, wish the article included some other facts. DirecTV is run by Hughes Electronics (GMH) which is owned by General Motors (GM).
Personally, I will never buy another GM vehicle since GM has allowed this to happen. Hope others feel the same way.
Also, I hope politicians are following this and the music industry's attempt to follow in DIRECTV's footsteps. Last I heard, some 40 million Americans are downloading music. If they begin getting sued, it's not likely people will take it lightly.
