Probably gained using a website downloading proggy. Not too hard to do. A PHP site which just indexes links is fairly straight forward. I'm sure a few people with the right knowledge are doing the same thing with many similar sites.

Re-edited to correct my crappy spelling LOL!

Pazoena is now down too...

That is my thought also, I think all the "anti" groups are going after whoever they can just to claim a victory. I think soon when you BUY a dvd it will self destruct after the first viewing.

Every site you come across has that disclaimer "we dont host the content, just links..." AFAIK it wasnt frowned upon as much in the UK as it is in the US, thats why some sites eg.(tv.video.net) moved their servers to the UK from the US as the law was different here they claimed?

What will that mean for all of the other sites, but as someone posted: There'll be another to take its place

RIP TVLINKS.

Its a sad day STUPID (so called copy right infringement)tv-links is no different than youtube

yh it is, youtube hosts videos. and hopefully the owner can win the case and with a new identity make another tv-links, but base the servers where viewing such content for our own leisure is allowed, such as Canada.

The fact of the matter is that this guy caught and should not be doing it the way he did it.

It looks like it's going to be a huge legal grey area from here on. Was what this guy was doing really tantamount to piracy? That's the real question. Well he's really just providing links to other sites that are hosting this material. I think that indirect action such as this is going to be hotly contested in any future action that FACT takes against their "defendant". My only fear is that he'll cave in and settle out of curt as so many others have been bullied into doing.

Please check out this site I have made:
http://www.save-tv-links.co.uk

The idea behind the site is to create a publicly accessible resource of accurate information on the tv-links case and create a discussion forum around it. It also exists to offer what ever support is possible to give to the innocent.

Anyone who can contribute or has any ideas that would make this site more functional please get in touch; the aim is too get as much information in one place as possible.

What ?

Ive never heard of TV-Links lol

---

Hmm! i suppose being that popular meant its inappropriate shutdown,
as it was a well-known site with working links,
unlike alluc- turned out to be all-u-see is dead links! & meant a quick exit, not to return!

Another great site with a lot of info, i came across by accident (as usual) praised tv-links was zeropaid
As i didnt feel the need for any filesharing software.


Something i was meaning to get around, but noticed this as it wasnt there the last time!
I dont know if its any better than the usual utorrent/bittorent?
queue quicker downloading?
As it looks like you could set it up in no time compared to the others?

Well tried zeropaid with no joy.Seems as soon as they are putting them up the tech police are taking them down.I'm sorry I just cant feel sorry for those in the entertainment industry running around in their expensive cars, with their fortunes in the bank etc.

Just after tryin it out to see what it was like, 27hrs download & that wasnt a torrent as that would take several days!! LOL.
it works better on RSS Sites to find shows.

UK’s www.tv-links.co.uk busted

p2pnet news | Movies:- “Welcome to TV Links, for your viewing pleasure we have compiled various links from the latest to some long forgotten TV shows, classics, films, documentaries and much more,” said www.tv-links.co.uk. “How much does this cost you? Nothing, its all Free of charge! Please sit back, relax and enjoy the show.”

“Said” in the past tense because the site has been taken down and a 26-year-old Briton arrested, “in connection with offences relating to the facilitation of copyright infringement on the internet,” says Guardian Unlimited.

Behind the bust was entertainment cartel pseudo cop organisation the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact), also known as Farcical Approaches to Copyright Transgressions.

The arrest and shutdown involved staff from the Gloucestershire County Council’s trading standards, FACT “investigators” and Gloucestershire Police, says the story, failing to mention UK taxpayers funded the corporate copyright operation.

But the cooperation shouldn’t come as a surprise. As p2pnet noted last year, in Britain the entertainment and software cartels have in effect been given full police powers.

The post went on:

For years the movie, music and software industries have been getting away with using scarce, taxpayer-funded police and other enforcement personnel as unpaid industry cops.

This has come about through an amazing PR triumph under which copyright infringement, a purely civil matter with no more than commercial implications, has been dressed up and made to look like major crime on a level with murder and robbery.

Wholly owned cartel ‘trade’ units such as the BPI have had to content themselves with merely ‘assisting’ in the ‘busts’ they’ve initiated. But now, unbelievably, “A police unit dedicated to combating movie piracy and those responsible for the manufacture and distribution of pirated films has launched in London …”

“In partnership with the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact), the new unit will pursue individuals and groups profiting from the sale of fake DVDs.”

And the British public will be paying for it.

Meanwhile, Fact says TV Links was a “major target” in a “campaign to crackdown on web piracy”.

TV Links ‘users’ were, “potentially evading licence fees, subscription fees to digital services or the cost of purchase or admittance to cinemas to view the films,” Guardian Unlimited has Fact mouthperson Kieron Sharp saying.

UPDATE:

Also see www.tv-links.co.uk, criminal linker

tv-links showed the truth about our government what was hidden from us. thats why it was shut down wake up world before its to late

"The British Video Association (BVA) has stated that piracy caused an estimated £459 million in losses to the video, film and TV industries last year."


Yes, because all of those people would have gone and bought all the dvds if the site wasn't there...


No wait, they would have just found another way to occupy their time ¬_¬

ofi why dont you just see for yourself instead of being a puppet and beleving every thing you read

Why cant the film industry use their bloody sense and wake up.They are making enemies of many of us.Like the record industry they have recognized they can give free music away and still make their massive multi million pounds profit.I do not believe as in most of us of profits that go to organized crime.And I do believe that most of the time the police are doing a good job.But the way they are doing things is totally stupid and will draw only bad for this industry so you media execs out there use your heads..........
