Can you name one person who has gone to jail or been fined for programming they were paying for, even if such was through a broker?

The grey market and reverse grey market sidestep the rules with technicalities. It's where the sale is made that matters. US DBS doesn't sale to Canada because of agreements (not laws) and Canada (by law) doesn't allow sale of US signals because the Canadian government thinks any "foreign" TV signals getting in are going to harm them culturally.
