DirecTV, NDS defeat pirates
US digital satellite platform DirecTV and fellow News Corp subsidiary NDS have scored another victory in the battle against the piracy of pay-TV services. Martin Mullen, also known as Martin P Stewart, was sentenced by the US District Court in Florida to seven years in prison and ordered to pay DirecTV and a subsidiary of smart card provider NDS $24 million in restitution.

Mullen admitted to involvement in a scheme involving more than 100 sub-dealers and the distribution of thousands of illegal smart cards in Canada and the United States. According to evidence presented in court, Mullen had been manufacturing and distributing satellite TV hacking technology since the 1980s, first attacking C-Band technology and then hacking DirecTV access cards in the 1990s and through 2001, DirecTV said.
