Satellite Piracy Charges Laid
HAMILTON, ON, June 10 /CNW/ - Yesterday, following two eight month
investigations, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Greater Toronto Area Federal
Enforcement Section charged 23 persons and eight business locations of HUWORKS
TV with conspiracy charges relating to offences under sections 9 and 10 of the
Radio Communication Act which deals with satellite piracy. Also charged, in a
separate investigation is Adam ----ER and his company SATAN'S PLAYHOUSE
relating to offences under sections 9 and 10 of the Radio Communication Act.
It is alleged that the individuals and companies took part in the illegal
sale and distribution of American Direct Tv and Dishnet Satellite Systems
thereby enabling Canadian consumers to receive satellite signals which are
prohibited in Canada.
The Supreme Court of Canada, in a decision published on April 26, 2002,
ruled that it is an offence to decode encrypted satellite signals without the
authorization of a distributor holding the necessary legal rights in Canada.
Bell Expressvu and Starchoice are the only two companies which are licenced by
the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to provide
satellite service to Canadian residents.
"These charges demonstrate the ability of all agencies involved to stop
criminal activity that affects all of us. This is not a victimless crime as
monies diverted from the legitimate economy only hurt our social services in
the end," stated Inspector Peter Goulet, Officer in Charge of the Greater
Toronto Area Federal Enforcement Section." We have a thriving film and motion
picture business in Canada and this type of activity threatens that industry."
Charged with conspiracy to sell and distribute American satellite signals
are:
