    Apparently the owner of TVLinks has been arrested. A 26 year old man from Cheltenham, England.

    For running a site that simply linked to videos of copyrighted material.

    That is scary if the police came knocking on your door one day. Too bad, I like his site.

    Yeah, I noticed the site went down a few months ago. Didn't know he had been arrested though. Gutted for him.

    There's a couple of threads about this. I don't really care about that site. Never had anything I wanted.

    and the point of asking was?


    the point of my post was to say "oh my, that's bs, I better shut down my sites that're like that right away because I can do without the po po's harassing me"
