I see a lot of parallels here to the situation with music downloads (MP3) and the music industry battle of the past few years. The music industry didn't necessarily care about prosecuting anyone, they wanted MONEY. They may have provided the model for this lawsuit against Viewsat. Once they get a court order saying they have a right to collect from anyone who used their signal they have essentially won, and they will make examples out of everyone they can get their hands on. Perhaps you remember the lady 8 months ago who downloaded three (that's 3) songs from a pirate site and received a judgement against her for over $42,000? If I had a Viewsat that went down I would trash it and buy something new. Charlie is going to come after you if he can, count on it.
