Satellite Fta Receiver Becomes A Piracy Device
As I said in the past, the AZBox and Dreambox have Ethernet capabilities (an Ethernet port) and can be utilized for the internet, when using these receivers you can go to for example youTube, Hulu and IPTV sites. This is perfectly legal. The NFusion can not be used in this fashion. There is only one reason for NFusion IKS technology and that is for "Satellite Piracy."I mentioned in the past that D*sh is going this route through court proceedings and they are going to win.
I have stated that an Australian Court has labelled a NFusion receiver a "Piracy Device" and has no legitimate use in "True" Free-To-Air applications. Apparently a Minnasota Federal District Court agrees, as in the case involving D*sh Network versus Gustav Dobos.
Some of the highlights involving the outcome of this case are:
Case 0:09-cv-03448-JNE-SRN Document 8 Filed 01/28/10 Page 3 of 6
7. Defendant violated federal laws by offering to the public, providing, or otherwise engaging in the traffic of devices, components, and/or technologies that are primarily designed to circumvent and/or defeat Plaintiffsð€™ Security System and ultimately facilitate the unauthorized reception of Plaintiffsð€™ encrypted satellite signals and copyrighted D*SH Network Programming.
Such devices, components and/or technologies include: firmware and software designed or used for piracy in connection with FTA receivers, Internet Key Sharing, Control Word Sharing, distribution of data or code for use in piracy, and nFusion-branded FTA receivers.
Defendant acknowledges and admits that each of the foregoing was primarily designed, marketed and used to facilitate piracy of satellite television programming.

(ii) has only a limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent Plaintiffsð€™ Security System, including the encryption and access control protection contained in the software on D*SH Network Access Cards, or any other technological measure adopted by Plaintiffs that effectively controls access to copyrighted television programming on the D*SH Network platform;
What it says is this receiver was primarily made to steal D*sh Networks encrypted programming and aid others in satellite TV piracy by viewing D*sh"s signals un-encripted via IKS technology, it further goes on and says the NFusion receiver has a limited significant purpose other than to circumvent D*sh Networks security features. The defendant (Dobos) agrees.
This Court also ordered a judgment in favor of D*SH Network L.L.C (E*hoStar Technologies L.L.C. and N*graStar LLC) on each of the Plaintiffsð€™ claims and for breach of contract (Counts 1-5 in Plaintiffsð€™ Complaint) in the aggregate amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($ 20,000,000.00). And, should this defendant breach any part of this Final Judgment or Permanent Injunction, he shall be subject to damages in the amount of $110,000 for each such breach or violation.
So there is it, the NFusion branded boxes are not "True" FTA receivers, they are nothing more than "Piracy Devices" as per a Federal Courts decision. D*sh Network has been fighting for this for quite awhile and it finally got it. The $20 million is just a bonus.
