Gold Member Username: DjsmithPost Number: 1147 Registered: May-11 | What is Digital Copyright? •Copyright applies to any medium. It is commonly applied to music, film, photographs, literature art, television programs and more. Copyright protects artistic and creative works from copying and reproduction without the creator's permission. What is the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act)? •It is a legal act that allows for the criminal prosecution of all copyright infringement cases, and has been used many times to prosecute and jail criminals associated with satellite piracy. •http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf What is the RICO act? •In 1970, Congress passed the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1961-1968. At the time, Congress' goal was to eliminate the ill-effects of organized crime on the nation's economy. •Any person who operates or manages an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity may be in violation of the RICO Act. Any group may be a RICO enterprise regardless of whether its members wear pinstripes, poster boards, fatigues or hoods. •http://www.ricoact.com/ricoact/theact.asp Does organized Satellite theft fall under the RICO act? •Yes absolutely, manufacturers, Importers, Internet chat forums, dealers and retailers are all involved in the organized proliferation of illegal satellite broadcasting theft. •The proceeds of which are then funneled to other illicit organized crime syndicates and terrorist group activities. Can the satellite providers sue me for getting American satellite TV in Canada? • Yes. Sections 9 and 10 of the Canadian Radiocommunication Act. •(http://laws.justice.gc.ca/PDF/Statute/R/R-2.pdf) make it illegal to decode or to provide equipment or components to decode an encrypted subscription programming signal without being authorization from the lawful distributor of that signal. Currently, no U.S. satellite signal provider is a lawful distributor in Canada, which means that no U.S. provider has the right to authorize the decoding of its programming in Canada. As a consequence, the decoding of U.S. programming in Canada is illegal, whether the person receiving the programming pays the provider for it (the "grey market") or not (the"black market"). The Canadian Criminal Code (http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/C-46/index.html), sections 326 and 327, also make it illegal to steal or possess any device that allows a person to steal satellite signals. It is also illegal in Canada to assist others in decoding an encrypted programming signal without authorization, or "aid and abet" the offences under the Radiocommunication Act and Criminal Code, such as by providing information, advice, or assistance on how to engage in piracy, where to obtain piracy devices or software, etc. Are you really stealing if signals sent down from space are on my property? •Yes, it is as much stealing, as eating cookies a girl scout is trying to sell before she sells them to you •Stealing is theft plain and simple, whether it is digital or a physical object What is "FTA" or "Free to Air" receivers? •A free-to-air receiver is a slang name for a set top box that is used to receive a number of free over the air public broadcasts from various NON-premium radio and television providers, such as PBS, foreign language and religious broadcasts. The name "free to air" implies it's used to obtain free broadcasts although these are used in various places outside of North America as a premium paid satellite receiver. There is no premium based Television Broadcasts in North America used with a free to air set top box. Is it illegal to own and use a "Free to Air" receiver? •It can be illegal to own certain types of Free to Air satellite receivers because a large number of modern free to air satellite receivers have been primarily designed for piracy by the manufacturer or have been modified by distributors, resellers or end users in order to receive premium broadcasts or to accommodate a satellite dish that is pointed to any premium providers' satellites, such as Dish Network and Bell TV (formerly Expressvu), or if it is one of several "FTA" receivers imported for piracy purposes. What is an FTA with IKS? •An IKS or "Internet Key sharing" module comes in either a built in to the FTA receiver or a standalone type called a dongle. It's attached to the FTA receiver and then to an Ethernet cable connected to the internet, the idea is it will download unencrypted keys from an "off shore" server that is connected to a premium provider such as Dish Network or Bell TV (formerly Expressvu) subscribed receiver(s) and unscrambles premium broadcast channels. This is very illegal and usually results in severe criminal charges. Is a FTA box with IKS traceable? •YES, absolutely. All IP addresses as well as mac addresses (your digital fingerprint) are stored in the offshore server, this unique address is required in order for the offshore server to send the information. There are numerous ways to trace these incoming and outgoing connections including the obvious server and end user ISP trace routs. These include previously and presently obtained IKS servers, legally obtained search and seizure warrants. Tracing subscribed receivers used for IKS. In the digital age NOTHING is untraceable. And all piracy modes are eventually obtained. Will I be prosecuted? •Yes, we utilize all possible civil and criminal resources to assist in the prosecution of theft of programming Are Dealer and distributor records used to pursue end users? •Yes, Nagrastar and its affiliates have arguably the largest searchable and usable database of executable records in the world originating by anything from seized evidence obtained from both civil and criminal prosecutions and multitudes of web crawling bots constantly harvesting all information on every known and unknown satellite piracy website and forum chat site on the Internet 24 hours, 7 days a week. The basic rule of thumb is if it's on the net, it's known, harvested, investigated and used. I just want to warn everyone to be careful when downloading anything. Clean out your cache , cookies and all history of any activity daily. Plus do not keep record logs or save your passwords and usernames. ( it's a pain i know , having to re-type all that info in every time , but it's best to protect yourselves against hackers and the law). Many servers use bots and or IP scanners to log your activity on their sites. If you are linked to an iks server, try to use a proxy. Just be careful and play it safe. |

Diamond Member Username: NydasPost Number: 21888 Registered: Jun-06 | The stand of Bell and Co. has been challenged at last. This PDF is about wha happened in a court in BC few weeks ago. I read the Judge Walker decision in detail, and he has awarded Rex advance cost of $35000 to prepare, and will be ordering more advance costs. He has not even put a ceiling. Advance costs as I see it in this case, requires the Attorney General of Canada and the providers (Bell DTV, and Dish) to share the cost awarded, so Rex can continue with the Charter litigation. I think this is the first spark of freedom for receiving paid programming from outside of Canada, and I hope Rex succeeds When you read through the whole judgment, Judge Walker, has nullified most of the arguments of Bell and of the two big American providers. One must remember, that this is an action by Rex against the Big three and also against the Crown (Government of Canada is known also as the Crown in litigation). The whole judgment document oozes with support for Rex. Rex has asked the judge for "Advance costs" i.e. money to be assessed against Bell, Dish, etc., prior to proceeding with his Charter case against the big three. His request was based on historical similar awards, where there is a tremendous disparity between the small guy looking for Justice under the Charter of Rights, and the biggies who are supported by Government. The judge agreed to give him "Advance costs". He had requested about $600,000 to pursue the matter in the courts. Even this has NOT been denied. There was a request by the Big guys including the Crown for a ceiling of $1,000,000, as Advance Costs, which ceiling has not been set, mainly because the judge was not given the details of what the Government and the big companies might spend for litigation, and what the nature of their defense evidence might be. The Charter thrust by Rex is based on section 2(b) of the Charter, which reads; 2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a).......... (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other means of communication. The judge has directed Rex to pursue the matter under Section 1 of the Charter, which reads; 1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. The reason for directing Rex in this direction (Challenge under Section1) is that, in the judge's opinion, a charter challenge under section 1 is likely to resolve sooner, and with less overall cost. That was another reason for not setting a ceiling on Advance Costs award, because the judge has not been officially appraised of the likely costs if Rex pursued the Section 1 challenge. All this came about because of the Supreme Court of Canada judgement against Rex, way back in 1992 (?), where the judges left room for Rex to pursue a Charter of Rights challenge. The current judgment by Judge Walker also implies that Rex may pursue the Charter route of defense, and prosecute the big ones, even at this late stage. |
