Polo admitted that he reproduced and distributed tens of thousands of copyrighted contents without the permission of relevant copyright owners. He used sophisticated computer programming to search for global pirate site for new illegal content to download and store. And then, he makes those movies and TV shows available on servers in Canada to iStreamItAll subscribers. He pleaded guilty to the following criminal charges:
- one count of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement
- one count of criminal copyright infringement by distributing a copyrighted work being prepared for commercial distribution
- one count of copyright infringement by reproduction or distribution
- one count of copyright infringement by public performance
- one count of money laundering
On the other hand, in a separate proceeding, Villarino pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement.
Both Polo and Villarino also admitted in their plea agreements that they worked as computer programmers of Jetflicks. Both defendants and their co-conspirators at Jetflicks reproduced and streamed tens of thousands of copyrighted episodes of TV programs without authorizations.
