Satellite Signal Theft is Illegal
11/23/2005
The Coalition Against Satellite Signal Theft (CASST) welcomes the Quebec
Superior Court's recent sentencing decision of Reggie Scullion who was
charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with two counts of illegal
activities related to theft of satellite TV service from DirecTV.
Mr. Scullion, who pled guilty in Quebec Superior Court, must forfeit
more than $4-million in cash and other property that had been seized by
the government in connection with the case, with $1.1-million of the
funds to be distributed to DirecTV and the remainder to Revenue Canada
and other creditors.
Mr. Scullion also received a suspended sentence of one year, and under a
civil judgment obtained by DirecTV, he is permanently prohibited from
engaging in activities related to theft of the DirecTV service.
"The Coalition Against Satellite Signal Theft is pleased to see positive
court results from the on-going efforts by the RCMP to address this
serious illegal activity that takes over $400-million a year from the
Canadian broadcasting system," said Luc Perreault, CASST Co-chair.
"This is the highest financial penalty ever handed down by the courts
for satellite priacy," said Harris Boyd, CASST Co-chair. "It should
serve as a strong deterrent to others."
CASST is made up of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters, Canadian
Cable Telecommunications Association, Canadian Film and Television
Production Association, Canadian Television Fund, Canadian Motion
Picture Distribution Association and their members. It also includes:
A&E Television Networks, Bell ExpressVU, CBC/Radio-Canada, Canadian
Motion Pictures Distributors Association -- Anti-Piracy Operations,
Canadian Retransmission Collective, Directors Guild of Canada, DirecTV,
North American Broadcasters Association, Society of Composers, Authors,
Music Publishers of Canada, Star Choice and Videotron Ltee.
