More Arrests: FTA Industry Collapsing

I have put this in the rumor section for now as I don't know how much truth it holds...

C/P
More Arrests: FTA Industry Collapsing
Seems like theBroken is ratting out everyone to save his own skin. Now that Viewsat, Coolsat, etc., have been connected to the coder behind the scripts, expect the FTA players to hand over ALL buyer info and expect to get a $20,000 US or more demand letter in the mail, courtesy of Charlie.

Buying a cheap, Korean/Chinese made STB will probably turn out to be the most EXPENSIVE purchase anyone in the US ever made.

Good luck guys, but it looks real bad down in the US. It seems like Dish has the upperhand now. Utlimately, Dish wanted the customer info and was denied by the courts up until now, but now that they got theBroken admitting his connection to all the FTA suppliers, Dish will be getting those customer lists in a hurry!

For the last few days while Hashhu was on vacation
terrible news came to light.

The coder who was making the files for Captain, Coolsat & Viewsat became known to everyone... Phillip Allison of Seminole, Florida... and in the court documents he has admitted making and selling the bin files to Freetech aka Coolsat and Viewtech aka Viewsat.

******** needed to prove a connection between the receiver makers and the pirate bin files and they have so its all downhill for Freetech & Viewrech from this point on. They will be making whatever settlement arrangements they can work out and they will be gone. No way to get out when somebody gives you up.

They also have proof this guy was sending the files to and with instructions to post them. Anybody that can be tied to this guy is done for because he has given up everyone it looks like.

The current documents don't show any other websites but DISH may be keeping some of their investigations secret and we may find out some more names as time goes on.

The only surprise in the documents was that Allison stated in a communication that they had a software method to make Viewsat receivers work on Nagra's new system - it is not indicated if this fix but most likely this guy would have gotten something to work.

So much for 'his' Nagra 3 fix.

UPDATE: Information is now available that a Neosat/K-Box coder has also been arrested - which makes sense as there is a connection to Coolsat and this investigation has been on-going for more than a year - however I haven't been able to confirm if this is true yet.

Glad you put this in the rumour section Gal, thanks, as it is not true. The parts of the court case against him have been reported, and since I made the thread, looks like the legal action is true. However it was NOT the broken that ratted, but another coder from another site. This was confirmed by thebroken himself.

FTA Court Proceedings Results. April/May 2009 - Attachments reformatted

FTA is NOT collapsing at present.

So dont panic guys, Happy Viewing.

Thanx for the heads up, as the owners of coolsat stbs are all in the dark right now.

I think it best for me not to mention what the talk is about the coolsat coders but I will just say that they are still around.

LMAO.....No sir I do not work for DN.....lol....I'm a tester ...I test various equipment designed for various applications...as a hobby... I then share my documented findings with those who wish to learn about random occurences affected by uncontrollable circumstances...hehehehe

You will notice that in the title of this thread, which was cleverly placed in the rumors section, there are question marks....and when I put the question marks there, I was hoping that we would see some honest opinions as to what has been happening in the fta world....whether it be rumor or fact......I find it interesting to read posts such as this one, and then get the opinions and thoughts of other testers.
....and...Thank you Ladybbird for the updated info
