Chinese court jails Aiyifan operator; US judge denies domain transfer

A Shanghai court upheld a 4.5-year prison sentence and 7 million yuan fine for Wang Jianyang, an operator of pirate streaming site Aiyifan. A Florida judge awarded iQIYI $1.96 million instead of the requested $196 million and refused to hand over the site's domains.

• Wang Jianyang sentenced to 4.5 years and fined 7 million yuan over Aiyifan
• Florida court awarded $1.96 million, about 1% of iQIYI's original claim
• Judge denied domain transfer, citing non-iQIYI content on the sites
