    Default IPGUYS being sued

    Heads up, Looks like DISH is going after IPGUYS. Reading this on some legitimate sites Torrentfreak and Reddit. Hoping its fake news, but looks like they are cracking down something fierce.

    I believe if this was true what I read on Torrentfreak that Dish knows who the accused are they would have cut their subs and IPGUYS would have shut down by now.

    c/p from Torrentfreak
    Popular 'pirate' IPTV service IPGuys is the latest provider to fall victim to the lawyers of DISH Network. In a lawsuit filed in the United States, three named individuals and 10 John Does stand accused of capturing DISH signals from satellite feeds and redistributing them via the Internet utilizing a network of IPTV resellers.

    It is true and Romie IPTV World also on the list. Here is a copy and paste

    Those involved in the sale of unlicensed IPTV services appear to be coming under attack from an increasing number of angles.

    Just this week, the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment confirmed that it was behind the closure of previously popular IPTV service Vader Streams.

    Just days earlier, the UK’s Federation Against Copyright Theft said it had served cease-and-desist notices in 16 locations to individuals involved in the supply of infringing sports streams, with at least some acting as resellers of ‘pirate’ IPTV services.

    Today, another well-known provider is added to the growing list.

    IPGuys is a recognized brand in the IPTV space. It has no website of its own, with subscribers to the service gaining access through a network of resellers. For how much longer that will be the case will remain to be seen, as the service is now being sued in the United States.

    In a lawsuit filed by DISH Networks and NagraStar yesterday, the broadcaster names Ontario, Canada-based Tomasz Kaczmarek as the operator of IPGuys.

    “Kaczmarek operates an illicit streaming service called IPGuys, where he acquires DISH’s satellite broadcasts of television programming and retransmits that programming without authorization to customers of his IPGuys service,” the complaint reads.

    According to DISH, Brooklyn, New York-based husband and wife team John and Julia Defoe participate in the “rebroadcasting scheme” by creating and maintaining DISH subscription accounts that are used to supply the IPGuy’s service with DISH’s programming.

    The additional Does 1-10 are described as “one or more persons” responsible for DISH subscription accounts that were created with false information and used to supply DISH content to the scheme.

    DISH says the accounts were created through a former retailer in Brooklyn named Ratiann Enterprise Inc. and registered to addresses in the same area. The company hopes that the discovery process will enable it to identify the people behind those accounts.

    The suit states that DISH used technical means to determine that the content being offered by IPGuys originated from its satellite broadcasts.

    “During testing of the IPGuys service, encoded messages delivered as part of DISH’s satellite communications were detected on the DISH Programming retransmitted on the IPGuys service, confirming the DISH Programming provided by Kaczmarek is originating from DISH’s satellite communications and DISH subscriber accounts,” the complaint reads.

    Seven of the so-called “seeder accounts” (the accounts that allegedly provided the content to IPGuys) shared one or more credit cards as the source of payment and all had either the same passwords or password hints, DISH adds.

    Furthermore, the same credit cards were also used to pay for “at least twenty” additional subscriber accounts established with false information. One of the twenty accounts was held in the name of John Defoe, DISH claims, adding that Kaczmarek sent Julia Defoe “tens of thousands of dollars”, while specifically mentioning DISH.

    From here, DISH begins to tackle some of the resellers of the IPGuys service, which offered the roughly $15 per month packages to the public. The primary sellers are named in the suit as Romie IPTV World, IPTV Bazaar, GetIPTVOnline and IPGuys-Live. Two secondary sellers are named as The Napster and Miracle Media Box Media.

    DISH states that Kaczmarek and the Defoes were given notice by the company that their activities violated various aspects of the Federal Communications Act back in April 2019, but the IPGuys service continued to operate.

    As a result, DISH is now demanding a broad permanent injunction against all defendants, plus actual or statutory damages of between $10,000 and $100,000 per violation, plus costs.

    DISH’s complaint against the IPGuys operation can be found here (pdf)

    I guess they can grab the card/ird details from the streams. It looks like only one of the seeders 20 accounts had legit info, and it cost them. It must have been a pretty shady dishnet retailer that set up those fake info accounts. That is probably why he is not longer a dishnet retailer.

    Bingo!You would be surprised what you find you wouldnt even need to sub.
    I dont think they needed any technical means someone on their server
    fell asleep and let their dish info screen onto a channel selection for all to see
    at that time is when it will show up on url grabbers you dont need to be on that specific
    channel either. Think about it how did that info get to dish were they being watched and why or did someone
    squeal?I am surprised that they werent using hacked accounts.
