The Hanoi People’s Procuracy in Vietnam has issued an indictment against two men said to be the operators of the massive Fmovies piracy empire shut down last year. The indictment offers detail on when the men first met, when their plans for Fmovies began to take shape, and how the site generated revenue. Last year the MPA described the shutdown as a “stunning victory.” New revelations are indeed stunning, but extremely puzzling too.
The article is very long and not that interesting a read. Maybe someone can post what was so interesting about it
The “stunning victory” the MPA wanted to have might not be as good of an deterrent, as it seemed at first. They only focus on a few movies, half of them might not even be relevant to the case, and the operators didn’t make much money on them, so they won’t be able to pay much damages.
If they don’t receive a prison sentence, and only need to pay below 20.000 USD where’s the deterrent for other operators overseas?
Thank you. So it was clickbait more or less.
It still is somewhat relevant as the IP system is a racket that needs to be brought down at any cost.
