Tomico arrested in Canada
Tomico arrested in Canada
It is with much regret that we must inform the public that Steve Rodgers (Tomico, tomico satellites, tomico-industries, etc) has been jailed over the Christmas holidays in a Canadian prison at the request of E*hostar and Bell Canada. Rodgers was raided by E*hostar and Bell a while back and has been involved in a lengthy court battle with D*sh ever since. D*sh and JJ Gee used illegal tactics to obtain an Anton Piller against Rodgers in Barrie, Ontario. Rodgers was accused of selling pirate devices by Nagra and was asked to rat out the Armulator coders and others, but Rodgers refused and denied the charges. In response, the Ontario Judge has thrown him in jail for 4 months. In addition, JJ Gee and D*sh were requesting $181,000 USD per month in legal fees and millions more in damages from Rodgers. Rodgers couldn't pay, and refused to cooperate with these corporate bullies. He is now in jail, away from his friends and family this holiday season. Shame on these corporate gluttons. Shame on JJ Gee. Is this how you get your jollies? Is this how you show your manhood? Shame on Charlie Ergen - you are truly the Grinch who stole this Christmas of 2007. Isn't $10 billion enough for you? You jail people over Christmas for some crumbs? Copy from Dish News Online An other Canadian pirate jailed // 2008-01-02 Another alleged satellite TV pirate busted north of the border has landed in jail. EchoStar, along with security partner NagraStar and Bell ExpressVu, participated in a case last year that amounted to another victory against satellite piracy and the imprisonment of a reported offender. The satellite TV company said Steven Rodgers was sentenced to four months in prison after being found in contempt of an Anton Piller Order granted in Toronto by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The sentence marked the fourth time an alleged satellite TV pirate has been jailed for contempt of an Anton Piller Order, the equivalent of a civil search and seizure warrant in the United States. EchoStar said the order was granted against Rodgers after a joint investigation conducted by the company and partners NagraStar and Bell ExpressVu. EchoStar alleged that Rodgers operated companies and Web sites tied to satellite TV piracy. Rodgers has continued to deny involvement in the businesses and Web sites. But a Canadian justice said those claims were "not credible at all" and "everything Mr. Rodgers has done since the Anton Piller Order was served has been designed to thwart it, disobey it and thumb his nose at the legal system." |

Re: Tomico arrested in Canada
Tomico refused to cooperate with JJ Gee head of security for DIK. Hope they're really happy jailing this guy and keeping him from his family over the holidays. 1 guy down now only 2M more to go.

Re: Tomico arrested in Canada
Perfect example of how canadian courts favor big business, the guy got 4 months. A father in Hamilton who was molesting his young daughter over the internet so eveybody could watch got caught and when everything was said and done he got 7 months. He was kept away from other inmates because they would have done him harm. Too bad.
