This is the energy we need going forward into the second half of the year.

" Five men were convicted by a federal jury in Las Vegas this week for their part in operating Jetflicks, which officials say was one of the largest illegal streaming services in the U.S.

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."

Bold of them to run it out of the US and to charge money for it when other reliable streaming sites exist that are free and have access to almost everything.

    And hypothetically what would those streaming services be, that we might avoid accidentally involving ourselves with something beyond ToS or the commandments of the crown?
