Taken from a news clip regarding dbs provider.
I wonder what "Motorola Black Box" they were talking about. Digicipher II maybe?
I have always wondered who was at fault for all the hacking.
I know this is not a c-band topic (sort of) but since it names Motorola then It will be a point of interest for us C-banders.
SANTA ANA, Calif., May 7 (Reuters) - DISH Network Corp has engaged in the same kind of satellite television piracy that it accused News Corp unit NDS Group of in a lawsuit, a lawyer for NDS argued on Wednesday during closing arguments in the case.
Attorney Darin Snyder told the jury in his closing remarks that DISH (DISH.O: Quote, Profile, Research) employed an infamous hacker and attempted to crack the encryption codes of rivals in the satellite TV business.
DISH has sued NDS (NNDS.O: Quote, Profile, Research) in a corporate espionage case that has the potential for damages of $1.6 billion if a jury finds against the News Corp (NWSa.N: Quote, Profile, Research) unit and awards punitive damages.
Jury deliberations were set to begin in the high-profile case as early as Thursday morning.
"The plaintiffs are doing the same with practically everything they're complaining about with NDS," Snyder said. "They had a multi-million-dollar project where they tried to break into a Motorola (black) box."
IF.....this accusation is really true - What a cheap shot!
Makes you wonder who really does support all the black market technology. I know in most cases it would be out of the expertise and knowledge of most average people.
