Owner of Pirate Site Out $2.5 Million

On December 23, 2009, The Kentucky Federal District court approved a settlement between E*hostar, D*sh Network & N*grastar, plaintiffs, vs. David Smith. David Smith, otherwise known as "Blindscan" and "Matchbox" by satellite pirates, was the owner and operator of F2ATV. F2ATV was a pirate website with direct connections to the KBOX, NFUSION, CNX, CAPTIVE WORKS and other 3rd party pirate groups and pirate dealers/distributers.

The terms of the settlement require Smith to pay the plaintiffs 2.5 million dollars and refrain from any piracy activity involving D*sh Network, E*hostar and/or N*grastar.

F2ATV, sometimes called F2A, claimed a user base of over 250,000 people before its sudden and unexplained shutdown. Many people can be certain that their personal information is in the hands of D*sh Network/E*hostar/N*grastar.

what Turbo has reported, and if deemed to be true, which i believe it will, then i fear the present day receivers regardless of make, will slowly but surely will be gone, are the days of our sites numbered also.......i hope not, as many friendships have evolved through these sites, and have been very educational to many of us .. as I always say...patience let us wait and see............we will survive ............
