DirecTV has been finding it a bit difficult to persue TV pirates in Canada due to a little quirk in the laws up there.
Since DirecTV service cannot be sold in Canada, it has a value of zero in that country. Anything of zero value is worthless and only things that have value and/or worth can be stolen. That's the gist of it. :) However, the Canadian government recently did arrest a guy who built and sold a device that directly hacked the DirecTV reciever box instead of piddling around with reprogramming the access cards. It was his own fault he got caught because he bragged about it far and wide on the net. ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
