DirecTV and Dish Network are two seperate corporations. DirecTV is initiating these lawsuits while Dish Network is not.
DirecTV has much stricter controls over who can sell and install their equipment so I initially assumed you were referring to Dish Network. I would be intrigued if this practice were occurring with DirecTV equipment.
DirecTV v. Eugene Karpinsky, Case No: 02-CV-73929, United States District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan. The Court issued an Order granting Summary Judgment as to all counts of DirecTV's case against Eugene Karpinsky. The Court affirmed that contrary to DirecTV's argument, mere possession of two smartcard recovery systems (unloopers) is insufficient to support a finding of liability under 47 U.S.C. Sec. 605(a), 18 U.S.C. Sec 2511(1)(a), or 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2512(1)(B)or demonstrate a claim of conversion.

DIRECTV Inc v. Karpinsky
Filed: 10/01/02 Assigned to: Judge George Caram Steeh
"I just think it's irony that they're suing people for buying into their #1 sales hook."
How is this their sales hook? Sounds like it is only your "roomates cousin's" illegal sales hook.
Also please clear up: " our roomate bought a dish networks dish " "we get the same system." "Every channel on direct TV" "Dish networks sent out a signal"
"No matter what the standard settles on, I can already do it."
Unless they follow the model of compromise of 56K modems (kflex vs. x2) and create an entirely new standard(v.90) so that no one group starts with a major advantage.

What if a fraction of that number, say 500 people, died every year in an attempt to increase humanity's capability to get off this rock. Would that be such a tragedy?
y, the auto industry has all moved their jobs overseas, to asia, mexico, wherever.
They only move the plants to Mexico, to take advantage of NAFTA. If they moved them overseas they would have to pay the same tariffs that made-in-SomeWhereElse autos do (2.5% for cars & SUV's, 25% for Pickup Trucks).
"Michigan will not be participating in the 2003 American Solar Challenge. While qualifying for the race in Wisconsin, the car suffered steering system failures which did not allow SpectruM to qualify for and enter the race. ...

If they attempt to file a claim against Microsoft for infringement I can guarantee you that they will run out of money to pay lawyers long before Microsoft does.
I found it curious that he had his records sealed for 10 years(he tried for 20). His response "We did not want anything embarrassing appearing in the papers at a critical time in any future endeavor".

Look at DC. Highest funded district in the country and they perform worse than all 50 states.
What Democratic process? Laws/treaties are passed and enforced by the European Commission whose members are appointed.
The European Parliament is the body that is elected directly by the people, but all they can do is talk and send proposals to the Commission for their consideration. If they don't like the laws the commission passes they can pound sand.

Why not just offer free streaming music of the entire TimeWarner collection of artists to AOL users? Seems like a decent way to attract customers.

What function does NASA serve?
Could those functions be served more efficiently by multiple, smaller, privately run organizations?
Why spend so much on manned flights when all of the experiments are simple enough to be automated?
One advantage of a privately run organization is that they can take risks.
When did space travel become something that has to be risk free, with every death being a tragedy?
In the year 2002 42,850 people died in automobile crashes in the US . These deaths accomplished nothing.
What if a fraction of that number, say 500 people, died every year in an attempt to increase humanity's capability to get off this rock. Would that be such a tragedy?
"become a plumber... these people demand more and more $ every day as less people in the west want to get into these fields."
I think salary in that profession has more to do with the membership quotas that the local unions set than with supply of labor.

At least he is honest(about that).
