Former anti-piracy 'bag man' turns on DirecTV
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-04-16

A one-time enforcer in DirecTV's anti-piracy campaign is suing his ex-employer for wrongful discharge, after he allegedly resigned rather than continue to prosecute the company's controversial war against buyers of hacker-friendly smart card equipment.

This yutz Fisher is suing for "Wrongful Discharge", but he RESIGNED!?

...err, WTF? Dunno how California handles such things, but it seems rather obvious that most states would laugh that one right out of court.

BTW - Mr. Poulsen, did you think to get DirecTV's side of the story, or do you enjoy being an unwitting clothesline for Mr. Fisher's dirty laundry? Not that what he says is or isn't true, but it certainly seems as if there was a huge lack of journalism here...

/P
