With nearly 100,000 streams per day and over a million monthly visitors, it was one of the 150 most visited<\/a> websites in the country. <\/p>\n This changed last week, when an alleged operator of the site was arrested by local police. According to the prosecution office at d’Aix-en-Provence the 22-year-old man was subsequently jailed<\/a>.<\/p>\n The man reportedly admitted that he founded the site three years ago and it’s claimed that he profited substantially through advertisements. This revenue was kept offshore<\/a> in a Hong Kong bank account. <\/p>\n The investigation into Full-Stream began in 2014 after the authorities received a complaint from the local entertainment industry group SACEM and the Association Against Audiovisual Piracy (ALPA). <\/p>\n According to the prosecution office the investigation found that the site offered pirated copies of 2,426 TV-series and 10,152 films. How much revenue the alleged operator made is still being researched. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, the prosecutor applauds the cooperation with the private industry groups which led to the arrest. <\/p>\n “This is the first time in France that, in this legal framework, cooperation between investigators and agents SACEM and ALPA has lead to the arrest of suspects.”<\/p>\n A second man was also detained in Grenoble last week, but he was released after an interrogation. However, the authorities note that other persons may be indicted at a later stage. <\/p>\n On the official Facebook page<\/a> many people are mourning the loss of Full-Stream. Initially the Full-Stream.org and Full-Stream.me domains remained accessible, but at the time of writing these are offline as well. <\/p>\n The operator of the site will remain in prison for at least four months<\/a> “because of his behavior and statements made \u200b\u200bin court,” and he ultimately faces a prison sentence of up to five years.<\/p>\n Source: TF<\/a>, for the latest info on copyright, file-sharing, torrent sites<\/a> and ANONYMOUS VPN services<\/a>.<\/p>\n Founded in 2013, the streaming site Full-Stream has steadily worked itself to the top of the French piracy community.
