Case 1:09-cv-07538 Document 1 Filed 12/04/09

Upon information and belief, Defendants or others working in
conjunction with Defendants operate an IKS server.

21. This IKS server has multiple DISH Network satellite receivers
and/or access cards attached to it that are used to decrypt DISH
Network satellite television programming and obtain the control words
for decrypting that programming. The server gathers these
now-unencrypted control words and sends them over the internet to
end-users who use the control words to decrypt DISH Network satellite
television programming without paying a subscription fee.

22. There are numerous black and gray market satellite receivers
imported from Korea that are designed and programmed to use these
stolen and decrypted control words to intercept and decrypt DISH
Network satellite television programming by interacting with an IKS
server.

23. On or about April 2, 2009, Defendant XXXX XXXX created a
residential account for DISH Network satellite television service,
using a purported residential service address at XXXX S Charles St.,
Savanna, Illinois 61074. Defendant XXXXX XXXX activated four DISH
Network satellite receivers and access cards associated with this
account. Plaintiffs’ investigation confirmed that at least three of
the satellite receivers and access cards activated by Defendant XXXX
XXXX are being used to supply Plaintiffs’ control words to others in
violation of federal and state law and the customer agreement.

24. Upon information and belief, Defendant XXXXXX XXXXX created this
residential account for the purpose of obtaining DISH Network
television programming and control words and distributing those
control words over an IKS server operated by Defendants and/or those
acting in conjunction with Defendants.:tape:
