NEW YORK : A British man pleaded guilty on Thursday to involvement in an alleged global piracy ring that distributed unreleased movies and television shows online, causing major losses for production studios.

He admitted to being"a bit nervous," but when asked by the judge whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty answered clearly,"Yes, your honor." Prosecutors said Sparks obtained advance copies of copyrighted DVDs and Blu-Ray discs from wholesale distributors after concocting reasons to obtain them.

The indictment said the reproduced content was tagged with such names as"Drones,""Rovers,""Geckos" and"Sprinter."
