    Free my boys they did nothing wrong. Also, I thought the US doesn't go after you with copyright unless you profit from it.

    Edit: my bad, they were charging for this. Yeah..

    Jetflicks, which charged $9.99 per month for the streaming service, generated millions of dollars in subscription revenue and caused “substantial harm to television program copyright owners,” the Justice Department said Thursday.

    Lmao must of us here do the same thing. It's not hard. I don't think I've written a script for this but it can't be too difficult.

    The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services (including the Pirate Bay and Torrentz) for illegal copies of TV episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks’ servers, according to federal prosecutors.
