On November 19, 2020, the County Court for Palm Beach County, Florida entered an Order in favor of DISH Network and NagraStar against Jerry Storey in the amount of $4,800. Storey previously entered into a settlement agreement with DISH and NagraStar to pay $3,500 in damages based upon his purchase and use of IKS subscription codes to a pirate service. After Storey failed to make timely payments under the settlement agreement, DISH and NagraStar filed suit in state court for breach of settlement, seeking damages and attorneys’ fees. The Court’s Order requires Storey to pay the full $3,500 damages amount and also included an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation costs in the amount of $1,300. DISH and NagraStar will continue to enforce the terms of the settlement agreements they’ve reached with those responsible for trying to circumvent the companies’ security system in order to gain unauthorized access to DISH Network programming.
