The lawsuit also named Van Tran of Transat Electronics Brampton, another KBox dealer. The execution of the orders resulted in the seizure and shutdown of KBox IKS servers that permitted KBox-brand FTA receivers to be used for internet key sharing by piracy consumers throughout North America. The orders also resulted in seizure of numerous KBox FTA receivers and KHub “dongles”, and the shutdown of the piracy web sites

www.kboxteam.com Following the execution of the orders, several defendants entered into settlement agreements with the Plaintiffs that included cooperation and permanent injunctions preventing them from dealing in any way in FTA receivers in the future. This is another major victory to prevent satellite television piracy in North America.
