This is just the beginning for the music/movie industry. They are watching the progress made by DirecTV in their civil actions against end users.

DirecTV has filed a civil lawsuit against a user (UMP) for simply TALKING about hacking. Although this would seem against the constitutional amendment governing free speech, UMP must still hire a lawyer and answer the charges in court or he will loose everything he owns via a default judgement.

DirecTV has made it clear that they intend to financially destroy any end user SUSPECTED of (or even talking about) hacking their signal.

So far, their tactics have worked very well as thousands of forum members SUSPECTED of hacking have been sued and have settled the lawsuit for an approximate sum of 3500 dollars.

Soon, anyone coming here and asking how to hack Hotmail will be tracked via their ISP and sued by Microsoft.

Don't get me wrong. I'm against theft and malicious hacking. However, the lawyers are going too far and........it's going to get worse...a lot worse, so.....get ready.
