Just goes to show how horrendous this sort of crime is. I hear dvd pirates are on the same cell blocks as pedophiles in prison.

I knew they were going to start cracking down on piracy. They'll use it as an excuse to make vpns illegal.
Shhhhh, don't give them ideas!

what kinda 2009 headline is this?
police also confiscated 50 pairs of counterfit ray-ban sunglasses and 20 lbs of zippo lighters
Plot twist. It was 1 zippo lighter, but it was a comically large one. It just weighs 20 lbs.

Soon it became dangerous to download the movie, though, as popular demand for the movie quickly put a target on downloaders' backs and scammers soon planted malware in Spider-Man movie torrents that ReasonLabs reported used the movie to "lure in as many victims as possible."
ReasonLabs said that the malware was "likely from a Russian torrenting site." It took over the would-be Spider-Man movie watchers' computers without setting off Windows Defender and with the goal of cryptomining in the background for the bad actors' benefit.

Honestly, yeah, he was enabling Russian Hackers.

Yes let's not go after the south African literally fomenting the rise of a fashist takovet. Let's go after the guy selling bootleg DVDs.
I'm okay with both. This guy was enabling a Russian Hacker network.
