In 2008 Jack Yates working for a copy of Los Angeles. At that time one of his bosses asked him to make a copy of the movie the movie Paramount call “The Love Guru” that had not yet emerged in the cinema.
The copy had asked was for Jay Leno’s show and Yates, though he did that copy, also made an extra distributed among relatives and friends . What he did not go unnoticed by both the company and the FBI began investigations. There were security tapes and although at first he had denied Yates finally admitting he finished. The sentence was passed 6 months in federal prison .
But it does not end there. One of the friends that Yates was handed the film Mischa Wynhausen , who decided to upload it to Mininova and again by FBI, 31 year old man was also captured. Wynhausen admitted and accepted the 3 years of probation that were allocated recently.
Wynhausen What he did was far worse than what Yates did, because the film through Mininova reached thousands of people around the world, but the difference, the judge said, was that he accepted what he did and worked with the FBI from the start. For that reason I did not have to spend time behind bars like Yates.
The movie was not very successful. Neither BitTorrent or the MundoReal . The budget was $ 62 million and Paramount Pictures won just over U.S. $ 40 million so it was a great loss at all levels.
