The one in your post must be a different case.
In this case DISH Network is asking Boom Media to disclose it's end users data and they have refused. Boom Media is unwilling to share their partner and user information and hence DISH Network must take the case to trial to get access to it. So Boom Media are asking for a donation of more than $250,000. from end users to pay their legal costs to fight it out.
Boom Media is a reseller for Nitro TV, Epic IPTV, Beast TV, Vader Streams, MFG TV, OK2, Murica Streams and others.
My thoughts are:
Boom media are asking for money from its customers NOT to disclose their data - I would call that a protection racket. What is to stop them just wiping all of their customers data out and not charging them any money?
Boom media must be close to the master stream to resell all of those other streams. We saw how when xtream codes was busted it affected all of us. Does anyone really think that by using fake emails and paying for IPTV with gift cards or bitcoins using VPN etc they would be untraceable?
It seems like the big companies who have the most to lose by IPTV users are now going after the IPTV users and not the providers.
