TV-Links.co.uk Raided, Owner Arrested: UPDATED
Jump to Comments

TV-Links (now dead) is a site which links to sites like Google Video and YouTube, which host clips of TV shows. Today, the Gloucestershire County Council, in association with a group called the FACT, raided the site’s servers and arrested the 26 year old man from Cheltenham who ran the site.

FACT
A man is now in prison because he runs a site where other people can link to low-resolution tv shows, hosted by Google. FACT did not raid Google, they raided a site which merely links to TV shows.

Has the internet become illegal for anyone but the corporate conglomerates?

I saw this a little while ago, pisses me off because I was almost caught up with Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Anyway, I did find this (http://tvteddy.blogspot.com/2007/10/tv-links-replacements.html), so now I can resume my watching. Lets see how long some of these sites stay up.
