I have gotten many emails about people who have kind of been lost in the cracks of online media. Grant Stanley was one of them.

Grant Stanley, also known as “G” on elite torrents has been sentenced for willfully infringe the copyright of a copyrighted work for purposes of commercial advantage and private financial gain and copyright infringement and remedies.

Grant Stanley was a “moderator” on the popular site elitetorrents.org, where he would monitor and maintain messages from users. He was also an uploader who contributed to the files on the site by uploading such titles as Are We There Yet, Son Of The Mask, and Shark Tale.

On October 17th, 2006 Stanley was sentenced to 5 months federal prison, and 3 years probation.

After his prison term, in August 2008,  the government later asked for Grant to be released from probation for his help in identifying co-conspirator Daniel Dove as “Duffman”, “Derkader”, and “McCalister” alias’s and for also testifying against him in court.
