Dish Network, one of the largest pay-TV providers in the United States, sees online piracy as a serious threat that can’t be ignored. The company is hiring a new anti-piracy specialist who will be tasked with researching and monitoring various pirate sites, as well as making sure that eBay, Craigslist, and YouTube remain piracy-free.<\/p>\n

With $15 billion in annual revenue, American satellite and broadcast provider\u00a0Dish Network<\/a>\u00a0is a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n

The company has been on a pirate crusade in recent years, filing several lawsuits against alleged pirate sources, including the popular Kodi-addon repository TVAddons.<\/p>\n

TVAddons previously\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0that it had reached a confidential settlement and this week the case was indeed dismissed (pdf<\/a>). Dish, however, maintains dedicated to the piracy problem on other fronts.<\/p>\n

In a new job listing the Fortune 200 company is looking for a fraud investigator with a special focus on researching and monitoring online piracy activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cDISH in Englewood, Colorado, is looking for an Investigator II to work on multiple projects with topics ranging from satellite piracy, IPTV violations, Intellectual Property violations, forum monitoring, Internet monitoring, and end-user cases,\u201d the posting reads.<\/p>\n

One of the primary responsibilities of this position is to keep an eye on businesses and individuals that offer Dish content illegally. This covers streaming sites, IPTV services, and also Kodi-addons.<\/p>\n

In addition,\u00a0the job<\/a>\u00a0also requires daily monitoring of specific \u201ctargeted websites\u201d and forums, and a summary of the activity on these platforms in daily reports.<\/p>\n

Dish\u2019s vacancy<\/strong><\/center>
\"\"<\/center>Dish stresses that prospective candidates should be able to handle confidential information with discretion. They must also work with outside counsel, likely because their research could be used as the basis for future lawsuits.<\/p>\n

Finally, the position demands that candidates help implement various takedown procedures, with Dish specifically highlighting eBay, Craigslist, and YouTube as services of interest.<\/p>\n

While the job application reveals no groundbreaking details or plans, it\u2019s clear that Dish is taking piracy rather seriously. The company\u2019s efforts are clearly not limited to the occasional lawsuit.<\/p>\n

And for those who like spending time trawling through piracy forums, it\u2019s good to know that Dish, and likely others, are reading along.<\/p>\n
