TV No More

Well, not quite, but this is a bit disappointing.

TV-Links has been shut down and the owner of the site arrested (source here). Now, I agree that the site may not have been entirely above board, but I would have thought that since none of the shows or movies were hosted by TV-Links the worst that could happen is that the owner be told to take it all offline?

No, he’s being charged with aiding copyright infringement, which is a bit like me being arrested for telling my friends that you can get cheap movies down the Barras.

A sad day indeed, both for people who want TV on demand, and for “Internet Law”.
