SOMEHOW I really don't feel sorry for anyone involved in scamming money
propagating state propaganda and historical disinformation, which IS
what TV and all Hollyweird movies are.

"Two programmers pleaded guilty to copyright charges in association with
two illegal streaming services, including one site that had more content
than Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, according to the Department of Justice.

Darryl Julius Polo, 36, pleaded guilty last week to running Las
Vegas–based streaming site iStreamItAll as well as working on the
illegal streaming website Jetflicks, the Justice Department announced
Friday.

He also pleaded guilty to money laundering, according to federal
prosecutors.

Luis Angel Villarino, 40, pleaded guilty in a separate trial on Friday
to working as a computer programmer on Jetflicks.

Polo said he reproduced tens of thousands of copyrighted television
episodes and movies without authorization and streamed and distributed
the programs to thousands of paid subscribers throughout the U.S.,
prosecutors said.

Polo would send out emails to iStreamItAll subscribers urging them to
cancel subscriptions to licensed sites, highlighting the catalog of
118,479 TV episodes and 10,980 movies, according to the Justice Department.

The illegal website had more content than licensed streaming services
Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Amazon Prime, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said Polo would use “sophisticated computer programming” to
search global pirate sites for new illegal content.

Polo and Villarino both pleaded guilty to also working separately as
computer programmers at Jetflicks, another subscription-based illegal
streaming site based out of Las Vegas.

Polo’s sentencing will be held on March 13, and Villarino’s will be held
on March 20."
