Re: DISH Network L.L.C. et al. v XXXXXXXXXX, U.S. District Court, Case No. TBD
Dear Mr. XXXXXXXXXX
This correspondence is sent on behalf DISH Network L.L.C., EchoStar Technologies L.L.C., and NagraStar LLC (collectively “NagraStar”) to individuals who receive DISH Network pay-television programming without authorization. The illegal reception of DISH Network pay-television programming occurs through the use of signal theft devices and pirate Internet Key Sharing (“IKS”) servers accessible via the internet.
NagraStar has obtained business records from an individual who sold IKS passcodes to the Nfusion Private Server (“NFPS”) and IKS Rocket pirate television services. These business records establish that you purchased multiple IKS passcodes, which provided you with unauthorized access to DISH Network television programming and decryption codes needed to descramble that programming without payment of a subscription fee to DISH Network. Enclosed for your reference is a small portion of the evidence that has been gathered, including the third party payment transaction information for your NFPS purchase and some of the IKS passcodes you received.

The circumvention of NagraStar’s security system and unauthorized interception of DISH Network’s programming violated several federal statutes including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1), the Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C. § 605(a), and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2511(1)(a), 2520. Statutory damages provided under these laws extend to $110,000 for each violation and provide for additional recovery of attorney’s fees and costs Furthermore, the number of codes purchased indicate your involvement in the sale and distribution of IKS passcodes to third-parties. The provision of IKS passcodes to others in order to facilitate the illicit acquisition of DISH Network programming violates a variety of federal statutes including 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(2) and 47 U.S.C. § 605(e)(4). Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26 and 37, you must preserve all documents, electronically stored information including emails, and equipment concerning this matter.
NagraStar is making an effort to resolve its legal claims against individuals who illegally obtained access to its pay-television programming via the NFPS and IKS Rocket pirate television services. NagraStar is prepared to release its claims against you arising from your unlawful accessing of DISH Network programming through the NFPS or IKS Rocket service in return for your agreement to: (1) pay the sum of $7,500 to NagraStar for your past wrongful conduct; and (2) enter into a formal settlement agreement that includes an agreed permanent injunction.
To accept this offer, you must contact NagraStar at 1-844-728-7226,
