The owner of a US-based YouTube download site has been convicted — in Brazil
TL;DR
  • The owner of video-download platform Yout has been convicted on copyright infringement charges in Brazil.
  • Yout operator John Nader is a US citizen and operates Yout within the US. The Brazilian court argues that because Brazilian citizens have accessed Yout, Nader is subject to Brazilian law.
  • Nader may appeal the verdict, which imposes fines or potential jail time.

Yout is an online utility that lets users download copies of videos from various sources, including YouTube. Founder John Nader insists that the service Yout offers doesn’t break the law — but a Brazilian criminal court disagrees.

File sharing blog TorrentFreak reports that last week, a judge of the 12th Criminal Court of São Paulo issued a ruling against Nader, imposing a hefty fine for violating Brazil’s copyright laws.
