Federal prosecutors have busted an international movie-pirating operation that caused “tens of millions of dollars in losses” for film production studios over the course of nine years, court filings reveal.George Bridi, Umar Ahmad and Jonatan Correa belonged to a copyright-infringement crew called “The Sparks Group” that posted “nearly every movie released by major production studios” online, according to indictments unsealed Tuesday.The trio allegedly duped distributors in Manhattan, Brooklyn, New Jersey and Canada into mailing them advance Blu-Ray and DVD copies of movies and television shows. The group then cracked copyright protections on the discs and posted the movies and TV shows online ahead of official release dates, prosecutors say.

One of the key members of Scene piracy group SPARKS has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit copyright infringement. The US Government signed a plea deal with Jonatan Correa, who admitted being part of the notorious Scene group. While the offense is punishable by a maximum sentence of five years in prison, both parties agreed to a guideline of 12 to 18 months.snipCorrea was the only defendant arrested in the US last summer. After being placed in custody in Kansas, the defendant was released on a $75,000 bail bond the next day. Initially, he maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty but that changed yesterday.
