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."

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.

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...

and we all know what happened to hashhu and paramount (went dixie and serious fines and court actions)...since I posted their bust 2 years ago....which numbnuts nalin (NN) accused me 2 years ago of being wrong...

DN is going after everybody/site they can, using legan actions...and have been very successful so far..

Do NOT listen to 1 word nalin ever says....cause its all wrong...unless she gets it from someone reliable like me or some others here..

BTW...this Pansat/Panarex bust info she got from me in another thread I posted a long time ago..

At the end of the day, after everything is said and done, short of IKS or genuine FTA; your boxes are dead.

LK: 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 stop braging.

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.
