Re: He's just getting started Possession of this equipment is not illegal so the customer list is not relevant to the prosecution. That someone bought one of these is not proof that it was ever used.
This dope attracted attention because of how he was marketing the modems.

DTV sued the company, got the customer records and sued those that bought the devices.... |

I worked with a guy who was "contacted" by DirecTV. He had to pay around $7,000. But I think he said DirecTV actually bought the company to get the records.
Awhile ago a MD man was arrested for selling hacked game consoles (I forget which one) which allowed them to play copied games.

Yes but that was a civil matter. This is a criminal case. Directv could sue you if they wanted, that doesn't mean anything. They didn't have to settle with them either. They could fight back but that gets expensive so people just settle. Completely different thing. |

Yes it was, and an accurate one. "Illegal" means it is against the law. There is no law preventing someone from owning one of these modems. They are not proprietary and readily available.
Even if it was relevant, the DirecTV case was a civil matter and involved proprietary equipment. |

Those Smart Cards have legitimate uses. If you have a GSM phone you have one. I had one imbedded in my work ID card for VPN purposes.
Smart Card readers have many legitimate uses. |
