A satellite company that transmits cable and over-the-air television programs conducts an internal investigation and find that one of its employees has been selling pirate access devices over the Internet that allow users of the devices to intercept the satellite company's transmissions. Discuss which federal statute the employee has violated and the remedies available for the satellite company
What will be an ideal response?
The employee has violated the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (as well as the Federal Communications Act which is not discussed in Chapter 11). The satellite company could bring a private right of action against the employee under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. This hypothetical is similar to the facts in DIRECTV Inc. v. Seijas, 508 F.3d 123 (3rd Cir. 2007).
