On November 14, 2014 the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico granted DISH Network and NagraStar’s motion for final judgment against Nelson Mateo.

The Court’s order includes a permanent injunction against Mateo as well as an award of $10,000 in statutory damages (the maximum damages per violation) under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (“ECPA”).
