DISH Network L.L.C. and NagraStar L.L.C. secured another significant victory today in their fight against satellite TV piracy.

On May 25, 2011, the United States District Court for the Central District of California entered a consent Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction against Warren Scheibe, www.nFusionOnline.com, and Scheibe’s distribution companies, Forward Motion Products, LLC and Forward Motion, Inc. DISH Network and NagraStar filed suit against Scheibe, based in Riverside, Calif., and his companies in June 2010 for their role in the marketing and distribution of nFusion-brand receivers and components.

The Court’s order prevents the defendants from marketing or distributing similar devices in the future and awarded DISH Network and NagraStar a judgment in the amount of $25 million against the distribution companies. Scheibe has also forfeited his substantial remaining nFusion inventory to NagraStar for destruction, as well as turned over the various nFusion-related websites used for marketing and online product sales. The Court’s permanent injunction further prevents the defendants from any future assistance in circumvention, which will carry a statutory penalty of up to $110,000 per violation.

NagraStar and DISH Network continue to investigate and prosecute individuals who engage in the circumvention of the NagraStar security technology or theft of DISH Network programming.
