NinjaVideo founder pleads guilty to criminal copyright infringement

[Redrob]

The federal government seized the domain name for online movie-sharing site NinjaVideo.net in June 2010, but it didn't file criminal copyright charges against the site admins until two weeks ago. Now, it has secured a guilty plea from NinjaVideo cofounder Matthew David Howard Smith, a 23-year old from Raleigh, North Carolina.

....

Smith will be sentenced on December 16 and faces up to five years in prison.

Smith ran the site from 2008 until its shutdown in 2010. According to the government, Smith has admitted to signing ad deals that grossed $500,000 during that period, and he was personally responsible for designing many of the site's features.

One of the other accused admins, Hana "Phara" Beshara, apparently believes that her group's widespread infringement was a "gray area" of copyright law.

This company was probably offshore: Antilles, maybe....

After being threatened with a lawsuit by the Hollywood-funded anti-piracy outfit BREIN, a Dutch payment provider has handed over the personal details of a torrent site owner. The anti-piracy group is targeting payment providers in order to reveal the identity of site owners, as the information owners give to hosting companies is often false.

Although there are various concerns about this process from a privacy point of view, it appears that BREIN’s request could fall within the boundaries of the law. Arnoud Engelfriet, lawyer with the Ictrecht law firm, explains that service providers may have little option than to cooperate.

Ma, get the cash from under the bed, we's travelling! Now!
