That they jail and fine the founders is somewhat understandable, if only for tax evasion and for making money off other people's IP, but jailing regular users is going too far. There aren't making any profit from watching films, and since we don't know if they'd be ready to pay for that content, it's not clear at all that the film industry is losing anything.
- cmiles74 10y agoIt's too bad they didn't state how much profit this person actually made.
- brian-armstrong 10y agoJailing them does seem like going too far, but I can see where it makes sense to at least fine the top users. The top users pay monthly to run seedboxes. They are investing in the infrastructure of the site in a measurable way. That does make them seem involved in its operations, at least to an extent.
