Mr. Viewsat"gets 18 mth. for in N3 plot.

C/p

Jung Kwak, also known as "Mr. Viewsat," was sentenced to 18 months in custody, according to the U.S. Attorney's offices in San Diego.

His two admitted co-conspirators, Phillip Allison and Robert Ward, both of Florida, were each given a month in custody, followed by five months of house arrest.

All three defendants pleaded guilty Oct. 23 to one count of conspiracy to violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

The defendants admitted that, beginning in March 2008, they decided to hire computer hackers to break DISH's encryption scheme, known as Nagra 3, so that satellite receiver boxes sold by Kwak would still be viable.
Kwak, 33, owned and operated Viewtech Inc. in Oceanside, which imported free-to-air satellite receiver boxes and sold them to the public through retailers.
