Nagrastar Offers $25,000 Reward For IKS Info
On 11/17/2010 Nagrastar spammed pirate sites with multiple posts urging people to turn in information on IKS servers. Once again it appears Nagrastar cannot secure it's signal against pirates without paying rats and lawyers.
This is the post that Nagrastar spammed sites with:
"Check out S*tSc*ms!
N*grastar LLC, in cooperation with its clients, is offering up to a $25,000 reward to qualifying leads in its fight against satellite television piracy. Go to s*tsc*ms.com to learn more."
This is the Reward Program
Reward Program – Step 1 of 3
Terms and Agreements.
N*graStar offers rewards to encourage people to volunteer information about the physical location of an Internet Key Sharing ("IKS") server used for N*graStar pay-tv piracy. For submitting a genuine piracy lead to N*graStar's anti-piracy team, you could qualify to earn up to $25,000 U.S.D.("Reward Payment")
To accept N*graStar's reward offer and become eligible for a possible reward, you must apply online to be included in the N*graStar's Anti-piracy Reward Program at the time you make your report, and you must agree to all of these Terms and Conditions as written.
All of the criteria listed below are material to formation of an agreement and must be met in order to qualify for the cash reward.
1. You ("Reporting Person") must submit the report through the web Reward form found at s*tscams.com.
2. The report must be submitted to N*graStar after October 31, 2010.
3. The report submitted must be a genuine piracy lead ("Piracy Lead" defined as follows) identifying the physical location of an Internet Key Sharing ("IKS") server used for pay-tv piracy involving a N*graStar conditional access system and must contain specific, verifiable data demonstrating that piracy is actually taking place. For example, and not by way of limitation, a Piracy Lead that simply states, "XYZ Company in Chicago is operating an IKS server" will not be regarded as a genuine piracy lead and, therefore, will not be considered for a Reward Payment. A valid report must should contain the following information: (a) company or person's name, (b) contact name, © address, (d) telephone number, (e) specific information about the IKS server location, (f) design, (g) setup and products supported by the IKS server, and (h) any other supporting documentation available, by way of example and not by way of limitation, photographs.
4. The Piracy Lead must be unique. Being "unique" shall mean that, N*graStar, or one of its affiliates, is not already aware of the location of the IKS server or would not have known about its location but-for the report submitted.
5. The Reporting Person must also (a) provide his or her name, address, and preferred method of contact, and (b) be responsive to follow up inquiries from N*graStar regarding the Piracy Lead provided. Efforts will be pursued by N*graStar to keep information provided by Reporting Person confidential and will not be disclosed to third-parties unless otherwise required to by law.
6. If the Piracy Lead is verified by N*graStar and results in the seizure of the IKS server by N*graStar or law enforcement, the Reporting Person will receive up to $25,000. The determination of whether a lead is a genuine Piracy Lead as defined herein and whether Reporting Person meets all material terms and preconditions will be at N*graStar's sole discretion.
7. If the location of the IKS server has been verified by N*graStar as a direct result of the Piracy Lead and the IKS server is seized by N*graStar or law enforcement, the $25,000 reward will be paid to Reporting Person within six (6) weeks of the date that N*graStar seizes the IKS server. The amount will be paid by N*graStar or an applicable affiliate directly to the Reporting Person at the address provided by Reporting Person as referenced above.
8. It is in N*graStar's sole and unfettered discretion of when, how, and whether to pursue any Piracy Lead. Should N*graStar decide to pursue a Piracy Lead, it will not discuss its efforts in pursuit of such lead with the Reporting Person.
9. Prior to making any Reward Payment, if within the U.S.A. N*graStar will require a completed IRS form W-9 which provides Reporting Person's Social Security Number for tax purposes only which will not be disclosed except as required by law. If outside of the U.S.A., the payment is subject to tax withholdings, if any, in accordance to U.S. law.
10. Neither Reporting Person, nor any family member or relative of Reporting Person have been employed by N*graStar, its affiliates or clients within the two-year (2) period before the Piracy Lead was provided by the Reporting Person.
11. Reporting Person who is the owner of the IKS server is ineligible for any reward.
12. The laws of Texas shall apply to the terms and conditions of the NagraStar Anti-Piracy Reward Program and Reporting Person agrees that any disputes arising from or relating to this program shall be litigated in the courts in Harris County, Texas applying Texas law.
13. The reward program will last from November 1, 2010 through the end of December 31, 2010 and is subject to change at N*graStar’s sole discretion. However, changes to this reward program as applied to Reporting Persons who provide Piracy Lead(s) that meet the criteria herein will be applied prospectively.
For questions relating to the terms and conditions of this reward program, please send an email to reward @ n*grastar.com.
The reward program will last from November 1, 2010 through the end of December 31, 2010 and is subject to change at N*graStar's sole discretion.
