Canada Hands Down Prison Sentences for Piracy

Satellite TV companies took their piracy fight north of the border, with DirecTV, EchoStar and Bell ExpressVu taking two alleged h@ckers to court in Canada.

Late last week, a Quebec court sentenced two brothers - Hanan and Joshua Lis - to 60 days in prison and a $25,000 fine for their alleged roles in a satellite TV piracy scheme. Court documents from the case said "significant amounts" of electronic components used for pirating as well as other related elements were found and seized, which confirmed a link between the defendants and the technology used for pirating.

Court documents showed that a search of a property last December found computer equipment, and next to a keyboard references to codes and information allegedly used for pirating. Joshua Lis was present during the search. Court documents also alleged that just prior to the search the brothers attempted to hide the evidence that was in thepremises before the search was conducted.

The sentences come as Canadian satellite and entertainment industry officials push for more strict piracy laws for the country.

In a statement, EchoStar said it "will take action against any illegal use of the company's satellite TV signal.We are pleased with the outcome of this case, and we hope it serves as a deterrent to other people who might be tempted to engage in such illegal conduct."

Damn that sucks! Thats pretty harsh to send someone to prison just for getting some free TV. Its not like they killed anyone.

[mili]

They were dealers. Guess who is going over their customer records?

Yeah, and Im sure dave will be smiling while he's sending out all the demand letters. A few hundred (or maybe thousand) customers times 3500 bucks. Damn, the rich just get richer. Greedy bastard!

Okay, understand the card thing, but where does FTA fall into in these cracks?

Well the mounties (RCMP) said a week ago they would not arrest anyone just using the recievers just the people who sell and program. Bell tried to get them to arrest the folks using and last year the RCMP ask Bell evec if he was nuts and how would we put millions of people into the legal system.

If it's not my signal why is it in my yard.

Call it his track record, they've been after his arse for years and have SFA for all their efforts. Now, if he protects himself......wouldn't it make sense that he protects his valued Customers as well??

Think About It.

[dishdude666]

I hear all of you. And thank you for asuring me it's safe to go with Mili.

Day tona2,
If he is outside of the US and Canadian jurisdiction, the involved parties will not be able to subpoena any papers from him and no one can force him to answer to any requests from them. That means, even if "his computer DIDN'T crashes regulary and everything is LOST including records" like DVD said LOL, it would still be safe. I guess where ever he is the provider does not provide service.
