Jetflicks charged just $10 per month for access to 118,000 TV episodes and 10,000 movies.
A federal jury in Las Vegas convicted five men who operated Jetflicks , a subscription TV and movie service that streamed pirated content, according to a press release Thursday from the U.S. Department of Justice . Jetflicks offered more than 118,000 television episodes and 10,000 movies, making it larger than the combined offerings of Netflix , Hulu , Vudu, and Amazon Prime.
The DOJ says the men attempted to disguise Jetflicks as an aviation entertainment company while saying in a statement that “digital piracy is not a victimless crime.” “Their scheme generated millions of dollars in criminal profits while causing copyright owners to lose out,” Nicole M. Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, said in a statement.
