Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding possession of satellite TV decryption data used for illegal viewing.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court's conviction for possession of decryption material and violation of the Radio Act. The defendant, A, was found guilty after selling smart cards containing protected satellite TV data obtained from X Oy. The court upheld the conviction because the possession of the decryption keys for paid, protected broadcasts constituted a violation of the Radio Act regardless of the defendant's intent to view the content.
