Massive telemarketing violation ruling against Dish Network
(FTC):
http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2015/01/court-grants-partial-summary-judgment-ftc-case-against-dish
In the current ruling, the court found Dish liable for 4,094,099 calls
it or its vendors made to numbers on the Registry and for 2,730,842
calls its retailers made to numbers on the Registry. The court found
that the government met its burden to hold Dish liable for the
retailers' calls since: 1) Dish retained the retailers, 2) Dish
authorized the retailers to market Dish products and services, and 3)
the retailers violated the TSR by initiating Dish telemarketing calls
to numbers on the Registry.
