TiVo Wins Permanent Injunction Against EchoStar

ZenFodderBoy writes "It's official! Judge Folsom entered his ruling today granting TiVo nearly $90 million in damages, plus granting a permanent injunction calling for the disabling of nearly all of EchoStar's DVRs within the next 30 days. EchoStar's motion to stay the injunction pending appeal was denied. Additionally, the judge reserves the right to grant additional damages in the future, so treble damages may still be coming. Excellent news for TiVo!"

    I miss consulting for Echostar! All the managers were cowboy hat wearing good ol' boys from Colorado City. It was the most hilarious and fun group of people to ever work with! To bad our product didn't really work (to much Java way to early) but damn they paid well and let us all chew tabacee' at work! Those were the days... *sigh*

    Your UID is very high, so I'll excuse that remark.


    And yours is so exceptionally low.

    Your style of argument leaves something to be desired.

    Now some "300,000 series" slashdotter is going to come along and mock me next. Just you wait and see.

    Oh, I think we can skip those Johnny-come-latelys, newbie. ;)
