I was browsing through the attorney's website for the class action lawsuit against Ironwood when I came across this entry.

Case Information - Tousley Brain Stephens PLLC - Seattle, WA (http://tbscases.com/tbscases/casedetail.php?id=17)


Echostar / DISH Network Automated Telemarketing Calls
On October 6, 2008, the U.S. District Court preliminarily approved a class action settlement between Washington consumers, represented by Michael Spafford, Jr., and Echostar Communications Corp. in which the Class alleged that Echostar and its retailers, as The Dish Network, unlawfully used automatic dialing and announcing devices (ADADs) to sell satellite television subscriptions and equipment to Washington residents.

This case has progressed to the settlement phase, but I don't remember reading anything about it on here.

This is a class action, not the same thing. Big companies get these all the time and they just settle, D* just settled two of such recently I believe.
