NATURE OF THE CASE DISH Network brought this action claiming that Defendant unlawfully circumvented the DISH Network security system and intercepted DISH Network satellite television programming. Defendant is alleged to have accomplished this in part by subscribing to a pirate television service known as IKS Rocket. DISH Network claims that Defendant used the IKS Rocket service to obtain control words or keys necessary to decrypt DISH Network’s satellite signal and view copyrighted DISH Network programming without authorization from and without payment to DISH Network.

RELIEF REQUESTED The parties stipulate that a final judgment should be entered in favor of DISH Network on Count I alleging violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1), Count II alleging violations of the Federal Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 605(a), and Count III alleging violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2511(1)(a) and 1 2520. The parties have agreed to a confidential settlement sum and therefore do not request an award of damages.
