OP Today's LA Times has story about DirectTV zapping illegal cards used to steal their programs. Calls the crooks "bootleggers". I'm trying to picture the thieves walking around with a satellite dish, even a small one, inside a knee length boot. Must be awkward, and would be equivalent of house arrest, unless they have very long lead-in cable. One of my other pet peeves is using "decimate" to mean nine tenths destruction.
