Two programmers in Las Vegas recently admitted to running two of the largest illegal television and movie streaming services in the country, according to federal officials.
One of the platforms reportedly had more paying subscribers than Netflix, Hulu and other popular licensed streaming platforms.
Polo urged members of iStreamItAll via email to cancel licensed services in favor of pirated content, according to his plea agreement. He also admitted to earning $1 million from his piracy operations, officials said. He also admitted to downloading the content from torrent websites.
Polo and Villarino were involved in operating Jetflix, which allowed users to download, process, store and stream copyrighted television programs without permission from copyright owners, according to officials.How to secure your home surveillance cameras from getting hacked
