Directv - Larry Rissler - Spencer Freeman
Sued over online device purchases, lost at trial, appealing

Education & Science

I was sued by Directv relating to purchases of electronic devices online. I was one of the first end users to go to trial. All alleged violations were time barred due to the statute of limitations. However, the judge decided that "continuing violations" applied and I was hit with a huge judgment. It is now on appeal in the 9th Circuit.

Recent evidence has come to light regarding the records used to initiate these thousands of lawsuits. The custodian of the records has stated under oath at a recent deposition that he could not verify any of the records & he just signed whatever documents Directv put in front of him. The settlement agreement between Mr. Madvig & DTV has recently been ordered unsealed by a district court in CA. It reveals a $0.00 settlement between this distributor of tens of thousands of devices in turn for "verification" of shipping records to individuals nationwide.

In addition, 2 former investigators for Directv have come forward with incriminating evidence regarding their mass litigation campaign. Documents revealed by these individuals show a very profitable litigation campaign.

In my case, Larry Rissler, former vice president of signal integrity for Directv, made statements on the witness stand that were knowingly false. After the trial I received documents backing up this claim.

This corporation has sued thousands of its customers with little or no evidence. They have lied to the courts & abused the system in the name of anti-piracy. Unfortunately, the media has barely reported this. I have documents to back up these claims.
