A Canadian by the name of Sunny has been arrested on charges of copying 50 websites in 50 days. According to police, Sunny was caught in the act of illegally downloading content from various websites and using it without permission. Sunny is accused of using a computer program to download entire websites and then republishing them as his own work. The program allowed him to copy the website's content, images, videos, and other media without having to manually enter each page into his own system. Police say that Sunny was able to copy over 50 websites in just 50 days with this program. He allegedly used the stolen content for his own personal gain, such as creating new products or services that he could sell online. The investigation into Sunny's activities began when one of the website owners noticed that their content had been copied without permission and reported it to authorities. After further investigation, police were able to track down Sunny and arrest him on charges related to copyright infringement and theft of intellectual property. Sunny is currently being held in custody pending trial and could face up to five years in prison if convicted on all counts. In addition, he may be required to pay restitution for any profits he made from using the stolen material. This case serves as a reminder that anyone who copies another person's work without permission can face serious legal consequences. It is important for everyone involved in digital publishing or web development to understand copyright law so they can avoid similar situations in the future.
