The AchieVer Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Popular Streaming Site Pelispedia Shuts Down, Operators Arrested Uruguayan authorities, helped by Interpol and the US movie industry, have arrested the alleged operators of the popular streaming site Pelispedia. The couple stands accused of profiting from copyright infringement. Following a raid on their house, several assets were seized and the site was shut down. With over a million visitors per day, Pelispedia.tv was one of the most popular streaming sites in Latin America. Just a few weeks ago, it was highlighted bythe US Trade Representative as a notorious pirate site, following a referral from Hollywood’s MPAA. By then, rightsholders and enforcement authorities already had their eyes focused on the site’s alleged operators, a couple from Uruguay. Following collaborative efforts from Interpol, rightsholders, and Uruguayan authorities, this culminated in two arrests last week. According to Uruguayan prosecutor Mónica Ferrero, the alleged operators are charged with “a continuing offense of making available a digital broadcast for profit without the written authorization of their respective holders or successors, and a crime of money laundering.” The two, who are referred to in local mediaby their initials JAGR and MJHG, will remain in custody for 30 days. Their case is being handled by a court specialized in organized crime, which will take a closer look at the allegations. Initially, Pelispedia.tv remained online following the arrests, but since yesterday it is no longer available. The sister site Pelisplus is still accessible but is also expected to shut down. Pelispedia The pair reportedly have no other employment and made roughly $5,000 per month from the business. In addition to the arrests, several assets were seized including hardware, a 2008 Peugeot, a 2014 Volkswagon, $1,257 in cash, and two Payoneer cards. The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment collaborated with the authorities and is pleased with the outcome thus far. “We thank Interpol, the Uruguayan police, and prosecutors for their leadership in this important action against a major illegal streaming service operator,” ACE spokesperson Richard VanOrnum said, commenting on the news. MPAA Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin agrees and sees the shutdown of Pelispedia.tv as another example of ACE’s successful and ongoing global effort to reduce piracy. “Each time we collaborate with law enforcement authorities to disrupt major piracy operations like Pelispedia.tv, we support the millions of people around the world working in the film and television industry and the dynamic legal marketplace for creative content,” Rivkin notes.

From 1973-1984 they was ran by a right wing dictatorship , in 1985 they became a democratic constitutional republic. Quote Uruguay is ranked first in Latin America in democracy, peace, low perception of corruption, e-government, and is first in South America when it comes to press freedom, size of the middle class and prosperity. They the closet thing to the USA in South America you will find . Most all other countries down there take bribes and are full of drug trade and murder they got way worse problems than movie piracy .

Uruguay is well known in the soccer history and world cup I'm not a soccer fan ether it's like were i live one thing in my area put it on the map but that's one small city in a country . Just because you heard of it from sports don't mean you know what it's like there . Uruguay is a very liberal solid out to the USA police state . Considering that the USA's last liberal president wanted to make streaming a felony so what Uruguay did falls right in line with all the Government overreach Obama used while in office . This military style raid was no different than when the USA took down another fat man for making money on Piracy witch was Kim Dotcom in the Obama era witch was a waste of tax payer money and caused all them people to lose there files . This time with Uruguay it was the Interpol and Hollywood just because they on the MPAA's list the Government in there now is not going foot the bill for this sort of nonsense they will put a import tax on there country and charge them money for being on that list instead, If Hollywood was there that means Uruguay is doing the Movie industry's biding . The USA did not send in the FBI for this fellow they done this on there own accord to get removed from USTR's Notorious Markets list so it don't mess up there trade with the USA was all. Since Uruguay native language is Spanish that is why he most likely don't know the site but they a lot people in South America , Mexico and the USA that speak Latino and they have there Kodi addons and things for Latino community . So it was a big site.
