Software dev behind Jetflicks faces prison time
Briefly

Cuban national Yoany Vaillant played a pivotal role in Jetflicks, a site accused of hosting over 183,000 TV episodes while causing millions in losses to the industry.
The Justice Department revealed that Jetflicks operated nonstop automation that grabbed content from popular piracy sites, allowing them to stream new episodes swiftly after airing.
Despite working only four months at Jetflicks, Vaillant's significant programming contributions involved crucial bug fixes for the complex automation processes behind the piracy operation.
Considered the largest piracy case in terms of stolen content volume, Jetflicks reportedly profited millions from subscriptions, impacting every US TV show owner.
