8. WARNING AGAINST PIRACY AND INFRINGEMENT
A. Piracy. Receiving any portion of the Services without paying for them and/or any direct or indirect act or attempted act to
engage or assist in any unauthorized interception or reception of any portion of the Services is a violation of various U.S.
federal and state laws and of this Agreement. The penalties for violating such laws can include imprisonment and civil
damage awards of up to $110,000 per violation.
B. Infringement. Section 605(e)4 of Title 47 of the United States Code makes it a federal crime to modify Equipment to receive
encrypted (scrambled) television programming without payment of required subscriptions. Conviction can result in a fine of up
to $500,000 and imprisonment for five years, or both. Any person who procures Equipment that has been so modified is an
accessory to that offense and may be punished in the same manner. Investigative authority for violations lies with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The Equipment may incorporate copyright protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents
and/or other intellectual property rights. Use of such copyright protection technology must be authorized by DISH Network or
its suppliers or licensors, and is intended for home and other limited pay-per-view uses only, unless otherwise authorized by
DISH Network or its suppliers or licensors. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
