“substantial harm to television program copyright owners,”
Give me a fucking break
It probably also had better user experience than all of them
The only thing I’m pisseed about is the fact that I was unaware of its existence. Fuck the system
They’re here doing everyone a service. Why are there resources to prosecute this but not like elon musk’s insider trading?
Five men convicted by the court of the high seas for being absolute chads
If five people can maintain a service bigger than all those combined, then the big streamers need to buck their fucking ideas up.
If there is no need,such places would not exist
Honestly pretty funny to call the site “Jetflix” and advertise it as nothing but aviation videos. Nobody would know what you’re up to until they pay you.
How much you wanna bet a aerospace nut subscribed to this because they love Jets, and immediately reported this site to the authorities because he got the avengers movies rather than Airbus maintenance videos or something…
Pretty stupid though to run this site out of the USA. Terrible opsec. They really just seemed to trust that nobody who cares would ever figure out what they were doing. Plenty of similar sites out there that don’t even need to hide what they are because they are well outside of American jurisdiction.
This is despicable. What specific service was this? So I know how to avoid it if it should resurface.
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.
They probably used Sonarr and Radarr and called it a day (or similar off-the-shelf tools available on GitHub). It’s not very sophisticated at all. That combined with Jellyfin and a VPN (or Usenet or a country that doesn’t care about piracy) and you have your own up and running. You could also just use free sites with an ad blocker instead of paying $10/mo like the service this article is about charged.

Yeah, I’ve got one of those too. Plex is great.
They solved a problem people had after the fragmentation :)
Did someone leak their Jellyfin credentials?
“When a hero comes along . . .”
All the comments in here are so damn tedious. Copyright is a mess, but holy shit, people tie themselves in knots to make excuses for pirates being careless and stupid
