Great article. Company's don't care anymore and are greedy. I have canceled my DirecTv service and will be going with cable shortly. I think it would be different if you purchased an IRD that was hacked to receive DTV but to sue people who purchased smart card products for what they "can" be used for is wrong. Smart cards are everywhere. I have a VISA card with a chip on it. A friend of mine runs a medical supply CO and even the respirators have smart cards in them. I think this will eventually bite them in the arse.
