I hate those fucking assholes... just not 'individual' lawyers do it either. Not that long ago (close to a year) Dish Network started sending out threats to people who were pirating their signal, offering people to settle for 3k "if they act now". They found out about a lot of people because when an ECM struck their receiver, it would kill it, and the less informed could not repair it themselves and send in the unit for repair. Dish kept the broke units, sent out a new replacement to the individual. Anyways, so many people got suckered in to doing that (settling) -- after the "settle date" passed Dish never followed through because it would have been one helluva court case to prove chain of ownership of the receivers that people had sent back to dish for repair. So Dish banked on making people think they were going to get sued for millions of dollars lmao? which is just as bad imo as the people they settled with.
