Suit alleges some residents steal satellite signals

[John Corn]

YOUNGSTOWN — California-based DIRECTV Inc. is suing several Mahoning Valley residents, alleging the defendants used illegal equipment to pirate the company's satellite broadcast signals.

DIRECTV filed lawsuits last week in U.S. District Court, Youngstown, seeking $10,000 in damages from each defendant, as well as legal expenses. The actions are civil, not criminal.
