You know Rupe should just stay as far away from charlie as possible.

The first time they tangled Charlie got a couple of birds and TPs at 110w.

This time Charlie is going to get Rupe for millions....if not billions

The hacker got a bonus the same month that the information was posted to the net. This is reading like a Hollywood blockbuster movie.

My thoughts exactly. With the supposed "suicide", secret agents, etc............ this could very easily be a movie.

Sounds like Charlies lawyers are ready to rip NDS a new a$$hole!

Speaking merely as a spectator, I get the feeling we're talking damages and penalties in the $250-$500 million range should this go to the jury. The only question at this point is how much.

I'm thinking it would be enough to rename a few DirecTV satellites to Echostar satellites.

This sort of nonsense hurts all consumers.

Where is racketeering mentioned ?

It's punitive damages that are tripled, by the way.

 

[lakebum431]

hall is correct (as usual)

It would be shocking if actual damages were put at 1 billion then punitive went to 3 billion.

I think it would be great if the punitive went to 3 Billion. It would really send a message.

It would also help the piracy problem in the long term.
