TV-Links.co.uk shut down - wow, never saw that coming

Possibly the most blatant illegal TV/Movie sharing website, used by an estimated 6.5 million people per month has, unsurprisingly, been shut down in a raid involving British police and Trading Standards Officers.

TV-Links.co.uk gave direct links to a huge array of TV shows and movies and did not require users to be familiar with Bittorrent or other complex file sharing programs.

Here's the article from the Guardian.

More techy folk might prefer to subscribe to my RSS feed and I'd be delighted if you do. I'm rather more active on Twitter, have a few pictures up on Flickr, and I tend to keep track of people on LinkedIn and increasingly-less-so Facebook. My day job is running WorldTV.com - a site for doing cool things with online video. Merci.
