Earlier today, in federal court in Brooklyn, an indictment was unsealed charging Noor Nabi Chowdhury and his brother, Mohammad Mahmudur Rahman, with conspiracy to provide to the public an illicit digital transmission service; providing an illicit digital transmission service; conspiracy to commit wire fraud; and aggravated identity theft. The charges stem from the defendants’ operation of 247TVStream, an online subscription-based service that permitted users to stream copyrighted content, such as live sports programming and television shows, without the permission of the relevant copyright owners. Chowdhury was arrested this morning and is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. Rahman remains at large.
