The government claims that Jetflicks engaged in plenty of the latter. The biggest question might be how they kept going for so long. They had a customer service line, a US bank account, and even put out the occasional press release. They ran not out of some Eastern European server farm but in Las Vegas, Nevada. Except this time, the customer was an undercover FBI agent.Ī grand jury indictment this week charged eight people with allegedly operating two of the biggest illegal streaming sites in the country. It’s the kind of casual piracy that takes place on countless Kodi boxes and other devices every day, all over the world. A week later, they downloaded two episodes of the Syfy network’s 12 Monkeys.
In late December 2016, a Jetflicks subscriber used the service to stream a recently released episode of The OA, a Netflix show with a fervent fan base. If that sounds too good to be true, well … it was. It was like having Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO, and a basic cable subscription, all for the price of a fancy sandwich.
For $9.99 a month-less, if prepaid for a longer increment of time-subscribers could access popular shows from across all the major networks and streaming platforms, commercial-free, as soon as the day after they aired. For almost a decade, Jetflicks offered one of the best streaming deals out there.
