    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.

    Let us do the piracy for you! Brilliant business model until it wasn’t.

    Piracy is a service issue. Tale as old as digital media.

    Also, copyright law is simply intentionally terrible and so is the TV industry. Just do royalties based on watch time, not stupid exclusivity…

        I thought perhaps they meant that but why give these two examples as though it were somehow limited to them. Weird either way.
