They've pushed hard to get laws changed here since, I can't remember the year, a judge ruled that any signal you can legally receive you are free to do with as you please. It had been in response to descramblers for cable and early sattelite dishes, but is still in effect. That's why the canadian sattelite companies had the US sattelite signals declared illegal, on the premise that they had not been licensed for broadcast here.
It's all about making the very rich companies that control the governments richer. I don't look at the police and courts as anything but corporate thugs. They certainly don't do the job they're supposed to of 'Maintaining the right', whatever the hell that was supposed to mean.
