The Supreme Court of British Columbia has shut down a well known Canadian web site that has long been considered a haven for satellite signal pirates. The move came in response to a joint case brought by DISH Network, NagraStar and Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership.

The permanent injunction includes two sites owned and operated by Andrew Bate, including piracy forum www.ROM10X.com and pirated software archive www.THEFILESHOP.com.

DISH and its partners in the suit first obtained civil search orders against Bate in January of 2008, calling on him to shut the sites down. The recent injunction finally enforces that order and bars Bate from having any further involvement with satellite piracy activities.
