Five people involved with running NinjaVideo.net were indicted by a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, on on conspiracy and copyright infringement charges. The DOJ posted that NinjaVideo had made "significant" income over it's two and a half year stint of showing infringing copies of movies and TV shows. Their approx. $500,000 revenue came mostly from advertising and donations from February 2008 until June 2010.
Many of the movies and TV shows on the website were offered free of charge. Some of those videos and movies had not even left the theaters at the time of their airing on NinjaVideo (nor released on DVD), the DOJ stated in their press release.
