5 convicted of operating massive, illegal streaming service called Jetflicks

Five men have been convicted of running a massive, unauthorized streaming service for more than a decade by a federal jury in Las Vegas. 

Kristopher Dallmann, Douglas Courson, Felipe Garcia, Jared Jaurequi and Peter Huber began operating an online streaming service, called Jetflicks, as early as 2007, according to court documents.

The streaming service could be subscribed to and provide users with illegal copies of hundreds of thousands of copyrighted television episodes. The five men used "sophisticated computer scripts and software to scour pirate websites" for the copies, officials said in a news release.
