On March 10, 2010, NagraStar LLC, DISH Network L.L.C. and EchoStar Technologies L.L.C. filed suit against Robert Kluver [aka DishTester], Leona Broda, and www.currentbins.com for, among other things, engaging in piracy of DISH Network programming, distributing pirate software, and for their involvement in IKS piracy.
The United States District Court for the District of Maryland entered a temporary restraining order against Kluver, Broda and www.currentbins.com and ordered the United States Marshals Service to seize defendants' computers, piracy-related materials, receivers, and related equipment. The seizure was successfully executed on March 23, 2010.
Operation of defendants' websites has also been restrained by the court and defendants have transferred the below websites to plaintiffs.‪ ‪
Through the course of Dish Network litigation against Panarex, it has been brought to our attention that many of the end-user of Pansat branded products are using those devices to circumvent NagraStar's conditional access technology and engage in the theft (or "piracy") of Dish Network's encrypted subscription-based programming. Panarex does not condone the use of its products for this purpose and any such use expressly voids the terms and conditions of our product warranty. Panarex fully supports all efforts by DISH Network, Echostar and NagraStar to investigate, identify and prosecute the compromise of their security technology and theft of their services. Should Panarex discover that you are using our Pansat branded products for such unlawful purpose, we will provide that evidence to NagraStar and cooperate fully in their investigation and prosecution of all such activities. Sincerely, Management of Panarex, Inc. http://www.pansatusa.com/home.htm
New Contempt Proceedings and Civil Seizure Raid Against Steven Rodgers a.k.a. Tomico-ind Posted by admin on February 25th, 2010
EchoStar and NagraStar, together with Bell ExpressVu, recently executed Anton Piller (civil seizure) orders against Steven Rodgers a.k.a. Tomico-ind, of Barrie, Ontario, Canada, as well as against his parents Ross and Palma Rodgers, at their business and residence.
In 2007-2008, Rodgers served four months in prison for contempt of a previous Anton Piller order. The recent orders resulted in the seizure of several computers and electronic media used by Rodgers. Following the execution of the recent orders, Ross and Palma Rodgers were arrested and held in custody for failing to appear at a contempt motion brought against them.
The companies also launched new contempt proceedings against Rodgers, who they allege has continued to engage in piracy activities contrary to various injunctions and judgments against him.
The companies say that Rodgers has continued to operate numerous piracy-related web sites and hide behind numerous online identities including The Warden, PIMPINnagravision, ThEmAdHaTtEr, Vic Damone, Retired fellow, Nagra3.com, dano, IwuzB4Him and Dish-outlaws. The evidence is set out in detail in one of the affidavits filed in the case [click here].
The companies also obtained orders lifting the stay of proceedings against Rodgers triggered by his bankruptcy, thereby sending a signal to Rodgers and the piracy community that bankruptcy does not prevent the prosecution of piracy-related claims
