STAY LEGAL
It is against the law to receive subscription TV programming without paying for it.
Remember – everyone pays more to support someone who pirates the signal.
Section 10 of the Radiocommunication Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. R-2 as amended, makes it a
federal offence to modify this receiver to enable it to receive encrypted (scrambled)
television programming without payment of required subscriptions. Conviction can
result in a fine of up to $25,000 and imprisonment for up to one year. Section 9
(1)
(c) and
(d) of that Act make it a separate offence to decode an encrypted subscription
programming signal or network feed without the authorization of the lawful distributor
and a further offence to operate this receiver so as to receive unlawfully decoded signals
or feeds. Conviction for either of these offences can result in a fine of up to $25,000
and/or imprisonment for up to six months.
Where any of these offences is committed on more than one day, the person who
committed the offence can be convicted of a separate offence for each day on which the
offence is committed.
In addition, section 18 of the Radiocommunication Act gives Bell ExpressVu Inc. an
independent right to sue for damages for any losses it sustains because of the above
illegal conduct.
