NEW YORK — Bars and restaurants that try to entice customers by showing Paulie Walnuts, Ralphie Cifaretto and the rest of The Sopranos gang on Sunday nights are hearing from another type of enforcer.
HBO lawyers are sending out letters telling them to turn the television sets off.
HBO stops restaurant promos
"I got whacked!" said Frankie Janisch, owner of "Frankie J's" restaurant in Chicago, who received a cease-and-desist letter from HBO four days after the Chicago Tribune wrote about his Sunday night promotion surrounding the hit mob drama.
He's no longer showing episodes of The Sopranos on his

restaurant's televisions.
As a pay-cable service, HBO is only supposed to be shown in private homes and hotels, said Jeff Cusson, a spokesman for the network.
HBO is frequently on the lookout for people who use their signals publicly, particularly to show high-profile boxing matches. But with The Sopranos and Sex and the City as big favorites, they've become the subject of promotions, too. The season-opening episode of The Sopranos in September drew the largest audience in the network's 30-year history.
While there's no actual law against showing HBO's signal publicly, Cusson said people who get HBO through their cable or satellite provider agree to follow those rules.
He said HBO would be in violation of its own agreements with movie companies if the network knew its signal was being seen in public and didn't do anything about it.
Establishments that persist showing HBO programs despite the cease-and-desist letter could be liable for civil penalties.
Ironically, Cusson said, HBO itself is planning some restaurant promotions for The Sopranos that will feature visits from cast members — and they'll bring a tape of the show with them.
