Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 18519 Registered: Jun-06 | Panarex was fined over $121 million in a USA District Court. The main findings against them were as follows:- "In addition to Plaintiff's ROM and EEPROM codes, the Pansat receivers also contained unauthorized copies of proprietary keys used by Dish Network in their Security system but which have no legitimate purpose or use in a supposed "FTA receiver". The factory firmware embedded within these Pansat Receivers (and distributed on Panarex's website, www.pansatusa.com) also contained explicit reference to Plaintiffs and their Security System. These references included: "Nagra Box Key", "ECM main, global", "auto roll", "Echostar" and "Nagravision". Finally, the Pansat receivers included unauthorized implementations of NagraVision's patented International Data Encryption Algorithm ("IDEA"). IDEA is a block cipher used for subkey generation in Dish Network's security system and is licensed to Plaintiffs for that use by NagraVision. There is no legitimate need for Pansat receivers to include an implementation of IDEA for FTA purposes; rather, it was included primarily for the purpose of allowing those Pansat receivers to be used for DISH Network piracy." |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 18664 Registered: Jun-06 | The purpose of starting this thread was to bring to the attention of the readers to the reasons why Panarex was found guilty. Somebody is focussed on finding my source; somebody else thinks they can point out to the full papers. The point is, all this information is available to anybody who can Google. So I suggest to everybody, to go to the start of this thread and read the summary of the main finding that killed Panarex - findings that made the case indefensible. Hence the title of my thread. |

Silver Member Username: Cheap_trickPost Number: 232 Registered: Oct-09 | maybe Nalin has a point here.... Since the advent of IKS technology , Nagra's strategy has increasingly shifted from technological battles (encryption, surgical ecms, server shutdowns and sabotage), to full-fletched warfare on the Legal Front ( intimidation, busts, lawsuits). We've seen Manufacturer Brands fall one by one and expect more of it to come. It has worked for them and it has worked well... |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 18679 Registered: Jun-06 | LK: I posted a C/P of a court case. You can't even find a place to read that to confirm for yourself. I don't think your information can ever be as reliable as an actual C/P from a judgment. You should read before you post. So go and take a dive in Largo Key. |
