> With assistance from anti-piracy company FACT, in 2019 a private prosecution brought by the Premier League resulted in a four-week trial at Warwick Crown Court that would end badly for the men.

I don't know anything about UK law, but what on earth is a "private prosecution"? And it can result in prison time???

In USA you have a criminal prosecution brought by the state. Anything else would be a civil lawsuit and those don't result in jail time.
