p2pnet - rss feed: Fisher vs DirectTV dismissed
p2pnet.net News:- Ex-police officer John Fisher says he joined DirecTV as a senior investigator but instead wound up “as little better than a ‘bag man for the mob‘.”
During his first few days he worked with “the other senior investigator,” a man named Dale Herring, Fisher says in his complaint here, going on that Herring explained other DIRECTV clerical employees had sent out letters to suspected satellite thieves and the recipients would be calling in.
“We and the other investigators were to field these phone calls and pressure the callers to pay a sum of money to DIRECTV,” says Fisher.
He also said although lawsuits were filed against more than 9,000 people, none went to trial.
Does this seem familiar?
Ultimately, Fisher charged DirecTV with unfair business practices and wrongful termination, seeking unspecified damages and an end to DirecTV’s tactics.
But his suit has been dismissed and Los Angeles County Judge Cary Nishimoto has ruled the, “collection efforts that Fisher had been part of were connected with litigation, and were therefore legally privileged,” says Kevin Poulson on SecurityFocus here.
Among other allegations, Fisher - who was looking for compensation for himself and “thousands of persons victimized by DirecTV - says between 5% and 10% of people threatened with lawsuits were innocent, and that DirecTV was aware of that fact.
“In April, DirecTV finished a wholesale swap-out of 17 million hackable access cards and shut down its legacy data stream, effectively slamming the door on signal pirates - at least for the moment,” says Poulson. “The company’s fourth generation smart card, called the “P4,” has thus far held up against hackers, but the three earlier versions were all eventually hacked.”
