A man has been jailed for 33 months after recording Fast And Furious 6 from the back of a cinema in Walsall.


A judge in Wolverhampton ruled that Philip Danks, 25, uploaded the movie, which was downloaded 700,000 times.


As well as putting the film on the internet, Danks offered to sell copies of the film using his Facebook profile.


Officers were able to trace him after he used the username TheCod3r to leave a comment on a well-known pirated movie website.

Danks had used the same username on the Plenty of Fish dating website.
