Nds Group - China First Aid Splint - Medical Cushion
Profile and history
Profile and history
NDS offices in Har-Hotzvim high-tech park, Jerusalem
Name
The company started out as News Datacom (NDC) in 1989, and later changed its name to News Digital Systems, hence its current name.
Management
Abe Peled is Chairman and CEO of NDS. He leads a team of executives located at the company's R&D and sales offices worldwide.
Subsidiaries
NDS owns Orbis Technology, a leading provider of online gambling technology, Jungo, who provide software for residential gateways and CastUp Inc, a leader in providing comprehensive solutions for rich media production, publishing and distribution in today's most popular formats.
Piracy
NDS has in the past been accused of breaking other companies' satellite encryption schemes.
Canal Plus lawsuit
The Guardian, an independent UK broadsheet newspaper, reported that Canal Plus accused NDS of deliberately extracting the UserROM code from the MediaGuard cards and then leaking it onto the internet. The Guardian story contained accusations that the NDS laboratory in Haifa, Israel had been working on breaking the SECA-produced MediaGuard smartcards used by Canal+, ITV Digital and other non-Murdoch-owned TV companies throughout Europe.
Canal Plus brought a $3 billion lawsuit against NDS. Canal Plus later dropped the action when News Corporation agreed to buy Canal Plus's struggling and heavily pirated Italian operation Telepiu.
Echostar lawsuit
On 2008-05-15 a jury in California found that NDS had violated an anti-piracy section of the Cable Communications Policy Act and California state law against piracy, cleared NDS of other charges, and awarded $1,500 in damages. Echostar had sued NDS for $1 billion for piracy and copyright infringement of the Echostar viewing card codes and for aiding the distribution and supply of pirate Echostar viewing cards for the Echostar-owned Dish TV.
Tax evasion
NDS's offices in Israel were raided in October 1996 after allegations of tax evasion were made. NDS later made a $3 million "no blame" settlement with the Israeli tax authorities.
