Breitbart: Two computer programmers in Las Vegas have pleaded guilty to multiple criminal copyright and money laundering charges related to the popular illegal streaming and download sites iStreamItAll and Jetflicks, which offered pirated versions of Hollywood TV shows and movies.
U.S. Justice Department officials said in their announcement that iStreamItAll, which offered a subscription service, boasted more content that Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. The illegal site featured more than 118,479 different television episodes and 10,980 individual movies, according to plea agreements.
Jetflicks, also a subscription service, offered “tens of thousands” of copyrighted television episodes.
Darryl Julius Polo, 36, pleaded guilty last week in a federal court in Virginia to multiple copyright infringement counts and a money-laundering count. Polo’s charges were related to his running of iStreamItAll and his involvement in helping to create Jetflicks. read more
a tad OT, but a hundred years ago when I was in CATV, there was an installation tech in B’more that started hooking people up to Comcast’s system at a discounted rate… The bold fucker was billing “his” customers monthly and running troubles and such whilst still in Comcast’s employ. I was there running a crew doing a disconnect audit and within two weeks the “customers” were calling Comcast to complain that they had been disconnected. When the guy was caught he had something to the tune of 5000 “customers”……….. Quite lucrative until you are sleeping with Big Leroy the Lover..

Comcast has a monopoly on high speed internet in my town. I’m a customer. Somebody has been stringing fiber all over this area this year. It ain’t Comcast.
I hope Comcast gets buttphucked raw by who ever is hanging fiber.
It’s impossible to find the good guys in this story
How could dudes that smart possibly expect to not get caught.
Hey it’s not like they lied to the FBI or something.
@ Lowell,
A lot of that fiber being strung is taxpayer subsidized….. everyone is entitled to broadband yuknow………… been to the local library recently?
