5 Movie Pirates Got a Total of 17 Years in UK Prison

Five pirates responsible for releasing thousands of movies online have been sentenced to a total of 17 years in the United Kingdom. The members of release groups were accused of "putting at risk" over £52 million in Hollywood revenues.

Almost three years ago, police raided 5 of the UK’s most prolific online movie pirates in the wake of an investigation by the local Federation Against Copyright Theft. All of them were arrested and by the beginning of this year had pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to defraud.

The anti-piracy outfit claimed that the infringement was huge – the groups had released over 9,000 movies online resulting in 5m unauthorized downloads. The defendants finally admitted causing the movie industry over £5 million in losses, about £1 million each. As a result, they were sentenced to 4 years and 6 months, 4 years and 2 months, twice 3 years and 6 months, and a 2 year suspended sentence. One of them aggravated his circumstances by continuing to pirate even while being on bail.

Moreover, the sentences would’ve been greater had the men not pleaded guilty early. Besides, there was also a penalty for the defendants who didn’t accept FACT’s version of events right away. It became known that the pirates who did not dispute anything would receive 1/3 knocked off their sentence, while the others would receive only 1/4. 2 of the pirates already had criminal records, but the others could eventually be moved to a low security prison.

This is the most aggressive private prosecution of the FACT to date, and it welcomed the court ruling. The outfit hopes that the result of the case sends out a serious message to other online pirates.
