It has begun.. Dishnet S.I. Letter

[dalerulesu]

First off, This was apparently from a tip...prolly from an ex girlfriend or something.

Secondly, This is not a legal document. It is simply a Compliance Notice.

An External Compliance Notice such as this, gets sent out to suspect individauls. Sort of a fishing expedition really.

Do NOT call them if you ever get this. Simply toss in the trash.

CMFINC, do you by chance know their jurisdiction or are they threatening peeps within US only for now?

This letter may or not be real but, it could happen . People must remember that DTV & d1sh almost never bring a criminal case against end users. The big two bring civil cases. In a civil case the burden of proof is on the defend et not the complaint et.

If you remember OJ he was a quited of murder but, lost a wrongful death civil case.

The DMA Makes it a crime to circumvent anti-piracy measures built into most commercial software.Outlaws the manufacture, sale, or distribution of code-cracking devices used to illegally copy software!!!!

This is America anyone can sue anybody for anything!! They may not always win the case but, it does cost time and money to fight.

Not quite, the plaintiff in a a civil action still has to prove the defendant liable. The defendant does not have to prove that he or she "didn't do it". The big difference is that in a civil case you only have to tip the balance so that the tryer of fact is more inclined to believe your version than the defendant's. (balance of probabilities)In a civil case, dependaing on jurisdiction you need from a majority up to 2/3 of a jury. In a criminal case you need to convince all of a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

I guess that letter would be U.S. eh, because according to Canadian law the letter is illegel. That would be attempting to spur an innocenct person into a fraudulent act. It is a form of harrassment (section 330 C.C.C.) that only law enforcement is allowed to employ.
