Five men from Nevada have been sentenced for running one of the largest illegal streaming services in the United States.

News 3 LV reports that the five men, including one German citizen, were sentenced on July 21, following a 14-day trial last June that ended with a federal jury finding them guilty of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement.

42-year-old Kristopher Lee Dallman received 84 months in prison. 44-year-old Jared Edward Jaurequi received time served, almost five months in jail, 180 days of home confinement and 500 hours of community service. 67-year-old Peter H. Huber received an 18-month sentence. 43-year-old Felipe Garcia was sentenced to 49 days in prison, three years of probation and 1,000 hours of community service. 65-year-old Douglas M. Courson received 48 days in jail and three years of probation.

Each of the five men held different roles for Jetflicks, such as management, website design, technical assistance, and customer support. By a conservative government estimate, the estimated value of the copyright infringement in the case is $37.5 million.

In the official federal release, Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti explained the extent of their crimes.

“This scheme generated millions of dollars in criminal profits, and hurt thousands of U.S. companies and individuals who owned the copyrights to these shows but never received a penny in compensation from Jetflicks,” wrote Galeotti. “The sentences issued in this case demonstrate the Criminal Division’s commitment to protect American creativity and to ensure that large-scale infringers are brought to justice and punished for their crimes.”

Jetflicks was headquartered in Las Vegas and allowed its users to stream and download copyrighted TV content. At one point, the illegal streaming service claimed to have 183,285 different episodes of TV programs, which is significantly larger than its legal competitors, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Vudu.

The official release says that the case was the largest internet piracy case to ever go to trial, as well as the first case of illegal streaming to go to trial.
