A Chicago man has been charged for uploading copies of the hit TV show, 24, to a website before they aired on television. Federal authorities have charged Jorge Romero, 24, with copyright violations for illegally distributing episodes of Fox's show. He had downloaded leaked episodes of 24 and then uploaded them to LiveDigital.com, according to a federal complaint filed in Los Angeles on Friday.
The four episodes were from the sixth season of 24 and were uploaded more than a week before they were to be aired on TV. Romero was charged with one felony count of uploading copyrighted material to a publicly accessible computer network knowing the work was intended for commercial distribution.
If convicted, he could be looking at up to three years in prison.
