Alexander Gluzman, a resident of the San Fernando Valley, admitted to distributing Dish Network satellite services and equipment throughout the United States and Canada. He was found in possession of devices used for unauthorized signal decryption and is expected to be arraigned on the charges on July 31 in a Los Angeles court. He faces a prison term of 15 years and a fine of more than $750,000 in addition to restitution.
The arrest came as the result of an extensive surveillance operation by EchoStar and NagraStar. Gluzman's activities were initially monitored in 2005 and evidence was produced that lead to an FBI search and seizure action on March 6, 2006.
Gluzman also admitted to obtaining and unlawfully distribution trade secrets and proprietary information from the satellite service provider.
The EchoStar and NagraStar investigation leading to the arrest of Gluzman is part of a widespread program to crack down on satellite service piracy operations.
I found this interesting, it happens this year,read the last 3 paragraph one said something important about the trade secrets? maybe this is part of the no fix mess? What do you think?.

i dont really care, this is not my usual forum. I just saw all the shiot that was being said in here and thought i would cheer everyone up with a little humor, but some of you guys are really bad off by the way you act. TV is not that important and maybe its time some of you people get out and exercise, go catch a flick and pay for it or just walk around the park with a loved one. go for a swim, drink a beer in the jacuzzi, take a vacation, take your family to dinner. the list is endless.
J.R., As a matter of fact, news like the one you posted has been a vogue among FT@ community. It does sens a message on what's going on, or on what's yet to come. I hope some good soul brings real light on the future of FT@, or else provides a reliable solution on the current status.
David, indeed, I'm into that buddy, enjoying life with loved ones while some solution comes up. If it doesn't come up, well... life goes on!
