The article wasn't THAT long..
Basically a scumbag lawyer started to blackmail people who downloaded porn on tube websites, or he'd bring copyright charges against them. He got enough money that he started to produce his OWN porn, put it on-line, and be able to see directly, who downloaded it. And, then threaten them. He made $6M doing this. He was an entitled, lying prick to the judge - who sentenced him to 14 years in prison, when the litigators only sought 12!
