Michael Moore Charged with Alleged Copyright Infringement of Sports Broadcasts

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on November 15, 2011 released the following:

“WASHINGTON— Charges of copyright infringement were unsealed today in federal court in Philadelphia against a Pennsylvania man for allegedly infringing on copyright protected broadcasts of hockey games, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Zane David Memeger for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The seven-count indictment alleges that Michael Moore, 44, of Chadds Ford, Penn., infringed the copyright protected works during seven six-month periods between May 2006 and June 2010.

The indictment alleges that HDHOCKEY.TV was a website that offered for sale DVDs containing recordings of copyrighted television broadcasts of hockey games and other copyrighted works such as team and player profiles, from the National Hockey League (NHL) and other professional hockey leagues. It also alleges that BROADSTREETBULLY.COM was a website offering for sale monthly subscriptions that enabled subscribers to download an unlimited number of video clips of copyrighted television broadcasts of hockey games, and other copyrighted works such as team and player profiles, from the NHL and other professional hockey leagues. The indictment alleges that neither site had the permission of the NHL or any other professional hockey league to reproduce or distribute these recordings.

Charges contained in an indictment are merely allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The maximum penalty for each count of copyright infringement is five years in prison. The indictment also seeks forfeiture.

The case was investigated by the FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Albert S. Glenn for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and Trial Attorney Evan Williams of the Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.”

[KingsFan1980]

Ripped me off some years ago aswell.Karma is a B.tch u loser.

[KnucklesNilan]

Really, you guys got ripped off? Years ago, this guy gave me a really nice deal on several DVDs that I purchased.. all it took was one email, asking for a bargain on the DVDs I picked up.. and he accepted!

[knicksfan89]

same here , he ripped me off, I never recieved my dvd from him

[Juicys1]

Looks good on him the thick fuck.....

[BROKEN*ORBITAL]

I understand people in here being p!ssed at the guy for ripping them off.

Curious though.

Had you received your tapes/DVD's without any problems, what would your opinions be here?

I quite frankly think it's a joke. The FBI was involved? They don't have other things to worry about other than some guy selling copywritten NHL footage?

Too bad (I guess) you guys didn't get your stuff, but this is lame.

Good, dICK

[theknuckler]

Any update on the outcome of him?

[bruiser11]

Scumbag. I ordered from him on hdhockey.tv once and after I sent him several emails he finally told me he didn't have the dvd in stock then told me to make any 2 choices to offset the wait. He still never sent.

I miss my now defunct Blood Knuckles and Ice site. They had some great tapes.
