Leading Satellite Piracy Forum Website Shut Down by Canadian Courts
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. and TORONTO, Ont. – July 27, 2009 – DN L.L.C., a subsidiary of DN Corporation, along with Nagra* L.L.C. and BEV Limited Partnership (operating as BTV), have won another victory over satellite signal piracy in the Canadian Courts.
On July 14, 2009, the Supreme Court of British Columbia granted judgment and issued a permanent injunction against AB (a.k.a. S/S), owner/operator of the leading piracy "forum" website xxx10xxxxx and the piracy software website .xxxFILExxxx. While it was operational, the xxx10x website was known in piracy circles as the leading resource for piracy information and instructions.
DN, Nagra* and BTV obtained and executed civil search orders and interim injunctions against AB in January 2008, requiring him to shut down both websites. The injunction obtained on July 14, 2009, permanently prevents AB from participating in any further satellite piracy activities or assisting any person in doing so, including through the provision of information or software on the Internet or otherwise.
Both DN and BTV have recently upgraded their security systems in order to further minimize the potential for signal theft.
