quote:
"TV Links, a Web site that provided links to hundreds of movies, documentaries, TV shows and cartoons hosted on streaming media sites such as Google Video and YouTube, has been raided by UK authorities. The Site's operator was also arrested, The Guardian reports. Even though the site has not hosted any pirated content, it was a thorn in the side of movie and TV studios, thanks to having links to newest movies and TV shows. As the largest site of its kind, it showcased the power of user-driven Internet, with the site's visitors helping to keep links to content constantly updated."

on what grounds was it raided? simply because its "a thorn in someones side" does not give powers that be rights to do this

You realise most of these sites spread to people they shouldnt, and idiots who shouldnt be using them, because people like you guys post them on forums like this?

to be honest drax, if a site comes up as 1st or 2nd result on google when searching for "rapidshare links" i highly doubt they expect to be unknown.
