Racketeering Suit Filed Against DirecTV

Posted by michael on from the one-reason-why-i-chose-cable dept.

dki writes "Another attempt is being made to head off the lawsuits DirecTV has been filing against purchasers of smart-card programmers. This time, lawyers have filed suit under the mob-busting Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) federal organized crime statute, accusing DirecTV of organized extortion, money laundering and fraud. Background on the ongoing saga can be found here and here."

  1. Why is this modded as "Funny"? by Archangel+Michael · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This is just one of the newest in a long line of Slashtrolls. "I, for one, welcome out new **** Overloards ..." is a Troll! Stop modding such tripe as anything other that Troll!

    Previous examples are:

    All your bases .....
    Imagine a Beo ......
    In Soviet Russia ...

    The First one is funny, but after that they get trolled so often that it is not funny, and even ruins the first one.

    If you are going to Troll, at least be original! I only wish I could meta moderate the Trolls who Mod this type of drivel.
