O.J. Simpson Accused of Piracy

MIAMI (AP) — DirecTV is accusing O.J. Simpson of pirating its satellite television signal.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court in Miami, the company demanded the former football star pay DirecTV $20,000.

Federal agents removed satellite TV equipment from Simpson’s house in the Miami neighborhood of Kendall during a search in 2001. DirecTV alleges the devices were “bootloaders,” for unscrambling the company’s signals.

Simpson attorney Yale Galanter was in court Monday and did not immediately return a call for comment.
