Ya, leaving your IP out there on some server was a scary enough idea, but the morons that actually paid to join one of these IKS servers with their own credit card had to be crazy.
And $3500 isn't a very outrageous settlement offer either. I know before I called up Bell and cried to get a 20% loyalty discount, I was paying about $111 a month for all the channels. I assume dishnet is pretty close to the same. So you would have paid around $1300 a year for the service anyway.
They could have easily asked for more but I suspect they will get a lot more quick settlements by keeping the amount low.
