TV-Links Pirate Website Shut Down
 
One of the world's most-used pirate film websites TV-Links has been closed after providing links to illegal versions of major Hollywood hits and TV shows. The first closure of a major UK-based pirate site was also accompanied by raids and an arrest, the anti-piracy group Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) said today. A 26-year-old man from Cheltenham was arrested on Thursday in connection with offences relating to the facilitation of copyright infringement on the internet, FACT said. Read the full story on Jack Schofield's blog.

Fuse-Wire Oct 21, 2007 03:33 PM

maybe in the future but i cant see it happening within the next couple of years mainly because the genius behind the site, is currently behind bars!

TBS Hosts them, with ads, but it still looks better than cable.

Fuse-Wire Oct 21, 2007 03:48 PM

and its legal?

xylomn Oct 21, 2007 03:54 PM

nooooooooo what will i do in boring lectures from now on

Steevo Oct 21, 2007 04:05 PM

Turner Broadcasting Station?



I would hope it is legal. :D

FatForester Oct 21, 2007 04:10 PM

Yea, it's shut down.. there's plenty of alternatives tho. www.sidereel.com is pretty good and uses a lot of the same videos that tv-links used to.

Namslas90 Oct 21, 2007 04:19 PM

That realy sucks. The other two replacements mentioned are OK but just not as good as TVLinks was. Im gonna miss my anime.

:toast:

jocksteeluk Oct 21, 2007 04:32 PM

damn shame, that was a good website.

kwchang007 Oct 21, 2007 05:22 PM

Man, where will I get my top gear fix now.

Ketxxx Oct 21, 2007 05:37 PM

FACT: I am now forced to download family guy instead of watch it on TV-Links. Notice the opposite effect here.

Ben Clarke Oct 21, 2007 05:38 PM

Lol... my dad told me a site, but I can't remember it...
