Direct TV Hacks
DirecTv and NDS Americas, its security vendor, filed a
piracy-related lawsuit against the owner of the oldest and most
well-known hacker newsletter. The suit, filed in federal court in
eastern Michigan, names Dan Morgan, owner of Satellite Watch News,
and Morgan's companies as defendants.
DirecTv and NDS allege the
defendants "individually and in conspiracy with others, have engaged
in repeated illegal and improper acts, practices and schemes to
defraud [DirecTv and NDC] of subscription and pay-per-view revenues
and other valuable consideration."
Specifically, the suit alleges
the defendants import and distribute hacked DirecTv/USSB security
cards, accept advertisements for hacked devices, publishe
evaluations of hacker products, and assist others in selling the
modified cards.
The suit also alleges Morgan produced and
distributed a video, called "Pirate Video IX," showing how security
cards can be modified. The suit asks the court to stop hacker ads
from being published in the newsletter and for damages for each
violation of law.
The Satellite Watch Newsletter, which previously
used the names The Black Box Newsletter and The Blank Box
Newsletter, may be the oldest and most widely circulated hacker
newsletter. Morgan could not be reached for comment.
