The headline they want you to read: "zomg these master criminals were causing billions in damages!!!!1!1"
The headline everyone else reads: "lmao piracy run by a couple random schmucks has an infinitely better service AND content selection than any corporate streaming service"
Alternative headline: "study finds that people don't like subscriptions that tell them to eat shit"
The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services
that's way too fancy talk for these programs LOL
Sophisticated computer scripts
if (request) { Connection.Stream(video); }
Mentally translating this as: Competition from the free market unfairly prosecuted by a tyrannical state that enforces the monopoly of “intellectual property” of corporations
This is insane. This does not warrant a 48 year sentence; some actual rapists and murderers get off for less time. The “justice” system is a joke and doesn’t prosecute criminals. It prosecutes those that threaten the system.
Five Guys have better service that is free than largest paid service providers
Lol I think most self hosted media centres over a year old have more content that all those services combined
IDK, I've been at it for a month and have accumulated around 3.6tb, I'm pretty sure Netflix alone has way more than 43.2tb in their entire library (>17000 titles globally)...
At one point, Jetflicks claimed to host more than 183,200 TV episodes.
Look what they took from you!
Indeed. The federal agents have stepped way out of line with this one
I misread the title as "Fire men convicted of massive, illegal streaming service" and was wondering if they were broadcasting fires
