 | | In pleading guilty to the felony charges, KLEINBERG, LERMAN and BRYNDZA admitted to having prominent or leadership roles in some of the most notorious online piracy release groups in the world, including Fairlight and Kalisto, which specialized in the illegal distribution of computer games, including PC and console games. |
 | | Using the online nickname basilisk, KLEINBERG provided various services to Fairlight and Kalisto, including supplying those groups with new software titles, assisting in the cracking process (i.e., disabling copyright protection measures that are embedded on the software), and serving as a courier to distribute the pirated works to various servers around the world. |
 | | For his part, BRYNDZA admitted to having built and operated two large servers that he, with the assistance of others, connected to the Internet for the use of members of the Fairlight and Kalisto groups (among others) to store and distribute thousands of titles of pirated software and other digital media. |
