Employees of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation detained in Las Vegas the owners of the country's largest illegal streaming services iStreamItAll and Jetflix. As reported by the US Department of Justice, iStreamItAll had more subscribers than Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Vudu combined.

Darryl Polo, 36, and Luis Villarino, 40, plead guilty to copyright infringement for using iStreamItAll and Jetflix. The content of the iStreamItAll site contained approximately 118 thousand episodes of television series and 11 thousand films.

According to the documents, Polo called by email to iStreamItAll subscribers to cancel licensing services in favor of a pirated service. The defendant also admitted that he earned $ 1 million through illegal streaming, and also downloaded content from torrent sites.

Polo also worked at several other pirate services, including SmackDownOnYou. He also pleaded guilty to money laundering.

Polo and Villarino together operated the Jetflix service, numbering tens of thousands of paid subscribers throughout the United States. Both developers admitted to using "automated programs and other tools for searching, downloading, processing and storing illegal content, so that later this material becomes available on servers in the US and Canada."
