The lawsuit claims the company knew that between five and ten percent of their targets were innocent. After a time, Fisher "fully realized the end user campaign was an elaborate extortion racket," the lawsuit alleges. "The letters were full of lies or misrepresentations and the investigators were required to coerce people into paying money for stealing services when we had no proof whether they had done so or not." Fisher resigned in October.

Good for you buddy. Get those DirecTV assholes.

I remember reading about this a while back.  I'm glad it's getting national attention.  This is a classic case of a money-grubbing company beating up on the little guy.  Now if someone will just take the RIAA to task...

The RIAA needs to die, and DirecTV isn't much better, just lower profile.
