Anyway, I think companies are trying to come up with new revenue. Doing a blanket suit like this is rediculous.
Boycotting DTV would be a step in the right direction. Personally I will stick with cable.
What they are doing is like saying,
I'm going to start sueing everyone who bought a hammer because it can be used to break into my house. As well as I'm going to sue everyone who owns a gun because it could be used for murder. Both viable crimes.
