Direct TV has already initiated approximately 9000 (that's no typo!) federal lawsuits against individuals. These individuals did not necessarily do anything illegal... most of them merely bought a piece of technology called a smart card programmer. Direct TV claims that the only use for such tech. is to steal satellite broadcasting... however, readers of Politech and IP know that they can be used for, at least, one other thing: loading them up with bogus votes and using them in Diebold voting machines! The EFF and Stanford's Center for Internet and Society have launched a website ( http://www.directvdefense.org/ ) that aims to aid individuals that have been threatened by Direct TV with lawsuits or just plain sued. Among the resources provided is a huge list of attorneys that have dealt with Direct TV cases, many at reduced/aggregate rates.
