Though I didn’t use it myself, a lot of my friends swore by http://www.tv-links.co.uk/. It was a site that compiled a listing of many sources for Television shows and movies from around the weberchats. The key thing was that it did not specifically host any of the files available, just provided links to them.
“Sites such as TV Links contribute to and profit from copyright infringement by identifying, posting, organizing, and indexing links to infringing content found on the internet that users can then view on demand by visiting these illegal sites,” said a spokesman for Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) today.
“The theft and distribution of films harms the livelihoods of those working in the UK film industry and in ancillary industries, as well as damaging the economy,” said FACT’s director general Kieron Sharp.
Strangely enough, this was done in the guise of “cutting down on piracy.” Why not go to the actual pirates then, instead of a lowly middleman? Doesn’t particularly make sense to me.
R.I.P. TVLinks.
