[TF] IMAGiNE BitTorrent Piracy Group Members All Plead Guilty

After being tipped off by the MPAA the feds arrested four members of the prominent BitTorrent release group IMAGiNE earlier this year, all of which have now plead guilty. Jeramiah Perkins of Portsmouth was the last to admit to copyright infringement charges this week. Along with his co-defendants from the now-defunct piracy release group, Perkins faces up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Last September IMAGiNE stopped distributing new films. As it was one of the Internet’s leading BitTorrent release groups the hiatus sparked speculation that the authorities were onto them.

A few months later the confirmation arrived that this was indeed the case.

I think it's good when they catch groups that are actually releasing this stuff, as opposed to 12 year old kids who don't know what they're doing.

Who bought the stuff in the first place? Yeah that's thieving alright.

They buy the film, game, whatever, rip it and upload it. No stealing ever takes place.

QFT.

All though it's groups like these that let me watch stuff...

I am glad they got caught.

Yes. I am hypocritical.
