Denver Business Journal: Dish Network wins $51M judgment against alleged satellite-TV pirate
By Greg Avery, Jan. 11, 2010
Colorado’s Dish Network Corp. and its sister companies have won a $51 million court judgment against a man they accused of being a satellite TV pirate who helped people steal the companies’ transmissions.
A federal court in Florida issued the ruling Monday in a case against Robert Ward. The case arose out of a civil suit filed against Ward by Douglas County-based satellite broadcaster Dish Network, EchoStar Technologies and NagraStar. EchoStar and NagraStar produce set-top box and encryption gear designed to make Dish Network’s signals viewable only by paying subscribers.
Public Statement by Phillip Allison “TheBroken”
Tuesday 2009-12-29
Hello,
My name is Phillip Allison, and I am a retired satellite pirate. While it may seem fun to you, to watch TV, at the expense of the provider (Dish Network), I assure you, it is very WRONG. On March 30th, 2009, I was visited by several federal law enforcement officers, 2 Lawyers from Dish Network, and a number of local law enforcement officers, in Pinellas County Florida. They were not kind to me, they were not polite, as a matter of fact, my family was awakened at 7:20am, at gunpoint. For 6 hours my home was searched for materials used for pirating signals from Dish Network. More than $25K in materials were removed from my home, including an XBOX hard drive, several FTA units, around 10 computers, several hard disk drives, SD cards, USB sticks, and even my Microsoft Zune.
I was arrested, and sat in holding with drug smugglers, murderers, suspected terrorists, money launderers, murderers, and weapons peddlers. I was transported in an airplane, that should have been retired 10 years ago. I was shackled, chained, and cuffed 3 times a day, for 33 days. I face 5 years in prison for “Free TV”. Dish Network owns my home, my prize automobile, a 1992 VW Corrado, and because of my felony conviction, I will never be able to vote, hold public office, own a firearm, nor sign a contract for any of a number of restricted employment opportunities. My life is ruined.
