Free my boys they did nothing wrong. Also, I thought the US doesn't go after you with copyright unless you profit from it.

Edit: my bad, they were charging for this. Yeah..

Jetflicks, which charged $9.99 per month for the streaming service, generated millions of dollars in subscription revenue and caused “substantial harm to television program copyright owners,” the Justice Department said Thursday.

Lmao must of us here do the same thing. It's not hard. I don't think I've written a script for this but it can't be too difficult.

The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services (including the Pirate Bay and Torrentz) for illegal copies of TV episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks’ servers, according to federal prosecutors.

The average human considers the Pythagorean theorem "sophistication". Let's not take our education for granted.

Alt: a single pane comic in which a person says to another person: "silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.

The other person says: "and quartz, of course"

The first person replies: "of course."

The caption to the comic reads "even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field"
