DIRECTV, Inc., a unit of Hughes Electronics, engaged Greer, Herz & Adams, L.L.P. to help develop a nationwide program addressing the unauthorized interception and use of DIRECTV's satellite communication signals. The project includes the prosecution of civil damage claims against both individuals and commercial establishments across the country involved in pirating DIRECTV's satellite broadcasts through highly technological and unlawful means. To accomplish the company's goals, the firm utilizes applicable state and federal telecommunication laws and federal copyright laws that ban the possession of interception devices and the surreptitious receipt and use of private communication signals.
