Hence, this too is considered as piracy.

A leading provider of dish entertainment has filed a case against this kind of piracy and won it as well. In the verdict of the case the court has made two points very clear.

Secondly the legal damage for this kind of act of piracy should be calculated according to the number of people who has downloaded the software. With such cases the company has took a firm stand point against piracy.

The company has also paid special attention to the content protection. It has entered into a contract with one of the leading content protection provider of the world. The content protection provider offers a wide array of flexible solutions for content protection. These solutions go very well with the different features, services and functionality of dish TV. thus the satellite TV provider can enjoy more security of their content and can take a firm stand against piracy. With the partnership with a content protection company, the dish TV provider has thus secured its content and at the same time have put made a secured standpoint against its competitors.
