The DOJ claimed that “copies of Spider-Man: No Way Home were downloaded tens of millions of times, with an estimated loss to the copyright owner of tens of millions of dollars.”
That presupppses that every person who downloaded it would have paid to see it/buy it otherwise and not just skipped it
That’s what he gets for not sharing the BD rip
A 37-year-old Tennessee man was arrested Thursday, accused of stealing Blu-rays and DVDs from a manufacturing and distribution company used by major movie studios and sharing them online before the movies’ scheduled release dates.
He also supposedly sold the actual stolen discs on e-commerce sites, the DOJ alleged.
Little bit more than your casual pirate. That said, up to 15 years is absolutely an overreaction.
