It's a sad day for streaming video fans everywhere
as news has been reported that TVLinks has been shut down and the owner, a
26yo man from Chelteham in the UK, was arrested. Though not hosting an actual
content himself, and rather merely providing links to where particular titles
can be found, he was nonetheless apparently charged for the 'facilitation' of
copyright infringement.
Huh. What makes the charges so odd is that he was again, only providing LINKS to
pirated content, and not actually hosting any such material. Can linking really
be considered "facilitation?" If I link to TVLinks am I then a co-conspirator?
