DOJ Seeks Up to 5 Years in Sports Streaming Piracy Sentencing

Joshua Streit should face 51 to 60 months in prison for his piracy of sports league streaming content via his Hehestreams.com site and a related attempt to extort Major League Baseball, said DOJ in a government sentencing memo filed last week with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. That range "would be sufficient but not greater than necessary to serve the legitimate purposes of sentencing," it said in docket 22-cr-00350. Streit's attorneys argued for leniency (see 2303030017).
