So here's the news:

Direct TV is under the impression that I've been purchasing equipment for stealing satellite signals from them and subscribing to "memberships of illegal piracy forums to gain unauthorized access to DIRECTV programming."

This is quite humorous as I don't even own a TV. In fact, once the RIAA stuff started going down, I even got rid of all of my mp3s.

What's even stranger: this letter is addressed to my dorm room. I haven't lived there since last May.

weird, huh?

I'm supposed to call them before 6:00 PM PST on the 24th to work out the "settlement."

In case you're curious, the settlement includes:

1) Surrender of all illegally modified access cards or other satellite signal theft devices in my posession.
2) Execute a written statement to the effect that I will not purchase or use illegal signal theft devices to obtain satellite programming in the future, nor have any involvement in the unauthorized reception of DIRECTV programming
3) Pay a monetary sum to DIRECTV for your past wrongful conduct and the damages hereby incurred by the company

oh happy day.
