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.

I watched many an anime series & the Mighty boosh eps while it was alive & well. now rest my little website :twitch::(:cry: no-one will ever hurt you again
such cases like arresting a child who stole or threw a sausage at/from somebody.
they have nothing better to do then go after the things that arent at all relevant then go after the real criminals.
plenty of sites stream videos or music. whats the big deal? in which case a music fan who wants to make a fanpage for his favorite band on myspace could potentially get arrested for stream his favorite bands music.
