Her is a C/P from courthouse news about the Viewsat arrests.... when you analyze it you can see how they either manipulate or understate the truth .... goes to show that you should check more than one source......


SAN DIEGO (CN) - Two men were arrested on federal charges of selling cheap "free to air" satellite receiver boxes that they had rigged to swipe signals from major satellite companies. Jung Kwak, 33, and Robert Ward, 54, run Viewtech out of Oceanside, Calif.
Free-to-air (FTA) boxes receive limited free programming, federal prosecutors said, most of it from ethnic or religious stations. Prosecutors say Kwak and Ward paid engineers to reverse-engineer Echostar's copyrighted Dish Network technology, and put it into their "Viewsat" boxes.
"Millions of Viewsat FTA have been sold to the public," the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Charged with Kwak, of Oceanside, and Ward, of Seminole, Fla., is Phillip Allison, 35, also of Seminole. If convicted, they face up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 in fines for conspiring to violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

1- Viewsat has NEVER sold a box with a file in it other than the factory file
2- He did pay the engineers (allegedly) but they were not succesful
3- Why are the words Viewsat and free to air in quotations?.... to make them look illegal or illegitimate... to lead the public to make their mind up that they are guilty without doing any research....

I hate the media....

believe none of what you hear 25% of what you read and 30% of what you hear !! then one might just have half a chance .

I think those percentages drop considerably when you are on the internet....lol

well if those guys are like me, if they get the fine they would have to write a IOU and do the time. If you don't want to do the time don't do the grime.

And this is not even mentioning the third guy that was arrested..... LMAO

It looks like a gov has no case at all. On the back of my rec it said "Tested to comply with
FCC standerds for home or office use"

So where is the case?

you decide if everything you see and read is true

don't believe it. did the artical stat what title of the DMCA was being Violated?

Can't dance and too fat to fly.

And this is not even mentioning the third guy that was arrested..... LMAO

your statement makes no sense, there are three people mentioned in the article you posted

Why you shouldn't believe everything you read.

Is up to you to decide if you want to believe everything you read or hear ask your self.

No media outlet presents the facts anymore and then allowso you to draw you own conclusions. Now they all want to give the the story line and then give you your opinion for that story line as well.
You use to be able to read a newspaper in this country and still be able to get that, but then guys like Ruppert started buying them up and turning them all in to the Daily Sun "British Tabloid" or rag sheet... those days ended as well.

These folks will get there day in court and you can bet your bottom dollar they will have some very excellent lawyers who will take the feds to the mat over this. I don't see any jail time and if 250 grand is all they will have to pay, if they lose, and that is still a very large IF, they will write the check before leaving the court room, out of there very large bank accounts...
The provider is taking a lot of chances with what they are doing right now, dragging everyone into court, if they start losing or the courts start to grow tired of this approach to signal integrity , they may in the end be making many lawyers richer and lose this outlet to go after the community....

An no doubt we are a long way from the fat lady doing any singing !!!!

Does it really matter? The guy is guilty, we just hope they cant prove it.

and he is guilty cause he was found guilty

or is that just some info you have from the voices in your head

only a court presented with all the facts can decide if he is guilty or not
