From what I understand he created a streaming site with over 200TB of content, and made several million dollars selling access to it.
While 48 years is a ridiculously draconian sentence, he wasn’t exactly an amateur pirate seeding his torrents too much or giving too many friends access to his Plex. He broke the one rule we all know will get your shit turned upside down: he directly profited off of piracy.
And he did it all using domestic web services inside the USA where he has zero legal protection…
I’m not so keen on fighting for this guy, because what he did isn’t comparable to even the most impressive Jellyfin admins on this sub, and he had awful opsec. If anything just learn a lesson from this guy and just maintain your own little personal archive for entertainment purposes.
Victim blaming.
Victim? He did something he knew was illegal. How is he the victim in any way? Should it be illegal? I dunno, but it is. That’s the end of it.
