STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF FINAL

ROBERT C. JONES, District Judge.

Plaintiffs DISH Network L.L.C., EchoStar Technologies L.L.C., and NagraStar LLC ("DISH Network"), and Defendants Andrew DiMarco, David DiMarco, and Digital Warehouse, Inc. (collectively, "Defendants"), respectfully submit this stipulation for entry of final judgment and permanent injunction.

DISH Network filed this case on December 7, 2011, alleging that Defendants distribute products which are designed for and primarily of use in circumventing the DISH Network security technology and receiving DISH Network's encrypted satellite broadcasts of copyrighted television programming without authorization. See Dkt. 1, Pls.' Compl. ¶¶ 30-69. Defendants responded to the complaint on February 8, 2012, denying the allegations made by DISH Network. See Dkt. 24, Defs.' Answer ¶¶ 30-69. The Court entered a preliminary injunction against Defendants on May 11, 2012, and ordered the impoundment of certain products. See Dkt. 49.

The parties now stipulate that final judgment should be entered for DISH Network on Counts I and III of the complaint alleging violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1), (a)(2), Counts II and IV alleging violations of the Federal Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 605(a), (e)(4), and Count V alleging violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2511(1)(a) and 2520.

The parties further stipulate that damages of $8,690,500 should be awarded to DISH Network. The parties agree that the damages are only imposed against Defendants David DiMarco and Digital Warehouse, Inc. Defendant Andrew DiMarco is not liable for the damages awarded to DISH Network. The parties also stipulate to a permanent injunction against all Defendants.

Defendants, by entering into this Stipulation for Entry of Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction, do not admit to any facts alleged which would give rise to any criminal liability.

A proposed final judgment and permanent injunction has been submitted.
