Satellite TV Firm Alleges Piracy by O.J. Simpson

DirecTV is accusing O.J. Simpson of pirating its satellite television signal.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Miami, the company demanded that the former football star pay it $20,000.

Federal agents removed satellite TV equipment from Simpson's Miami house during a search in 2001. DirecTV alleges the devices were "bootloaders," used for unscrambling the company's signals.

Simpson attorney Yale Galanter did not return a call for comment.
