Jonathan Edge, 29, ran a service uploading illegal services to Fire Stick devices in return for cash-in-hand payments, using Facebook advertising and word-of-mouth recommendations to run his operation.
A 29-year-old man has been jailed for more than three years for loading illicit TV streaming services onto Amazon Fire Sticks. Jonathan Edge, from Liverpool, pleaded guilty to three offences under the Fraud Act. He was sentenced to three years and four months in prison, which included a separate concurrent sentence of two years and three months for accessing and viewing the content he was supplying.
Kevin Plumb, Premier League general counsel, said: 'The significant sentence handed down to the individual involved once again serves to highlight the severity of his actions. 'We will continue to pursue legal action against those supplying unauthorised access to Premier League football, regardless of the scale or mode of operation. Ignoring warnings to stop only served to make the consequences worse for the individual.
