O.J. Simpson sued for pirating TV signal

MIAMI - In a lawsuit filed in Federal Court in Miami, DirecTV has accused O.J. Simpson of pirating its satellite television signal.
The company demanded the former football star pay DirecTV $20,000 US.
Federal agents removed satellite TV equipment from Simpson's house in the Miami neighbourhood of Kendall during a search in 2001. DirecTV alleges the devices were "bootloaders," for unscrambling the company's signals.
The raid occurred as authorities were investigating Simpson and others in an alleged ecstasy and satellite-theft ring. Simpson was never charged.
Simpson's lawyer Yale Galanter denied the lawsuit's allegations. "O.J. Simpson has never owned any pirating equipment, pirating cards, illegal cards," he said. "He's been a loyal, paying customer of DirecTV for years."
