IPTV Lawsuit With 19TB of Data & ONE TON of Print Discovery Heads For Trial
The trial of six defendants who allegedly operated the 'pirate' streaming service Jetflicks will now take place in July 2020. The delay is in response to Canadian authorities handing over masses of discovery data, including subscriber information and support tickets of the defunct service. The original request for information was made around 22 months ago.
Pirate sites of all kinds are trouble magnets. The chances of getting threatened, sued, or arrested are pretty high. That's why plenty of sites have handed round the begging bowl when the proverbial hits the fan. So when are these fundraisers successful and when do they flop? It seems it's mostly down to whether the service in question truly gave something back or was just a profit machine for its owners.
Two defendants have pleaded guilty for their role in the operation of two streaming services that offered access to pirated movies and TV-shows. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, ]iStreamItAll and Jetflicks were among the biggest illegal streaming services in the US. The platforms used torrent and Usenet sites to source thousands of pirated videos for their platforms, which were offered to the public for a monthly subscription fee.
