I use to use this site all the time. I am very sad to hear that it got shutdown. Is it me or are all these friggin anti-piracy groups as well as the RIAA and MPAA going buck crazy with all the raids and law suites? This is insane.

Not really sure if it will be updated.
*REALLY* not sure how the hell they mirrored the code to handle movies.. You can't just mirror php code... unless it was "leaked" by tv-links.co.uk or written from scratch (unlikely)
raises many many questions... but screw it. I can now watch my MST3K :D

i'm sorry the owner of the site was arrested. May he find good, cheap counsel & get him out of that situation ASAP. Godspeed to him.
now, let me get on the soapbox. Except for a few good series (Simpsons, House, Heroes) there is def not as much to watch on TV as there was a few years ago. I spend more time away from the TV then around it. So why be all hung up on dL stuff from TV? How much time do you have to actually watch it? Doesn't Hollywood want us to believe that they are important. They aren't. Time to pull the plug on popular media & create your own. In an average day, I get more out of a site like afterdawn then anything I see on TV. Coming from a former couch potato, you should realize things. Hollywood is going down. Let's help them on their way. By not watching their junk.

Sites such as TV Links contribute to and profit from copyright infringement
Then why isnt the admin facing a charge to deal with profiting from copyrighted material?

That is my thought also, I think all the "anti" groups are going after whoever they can just to claim a victory. I think soon when you BUY a dvd it will self destruct after the first viewing.

No, I mean download lol.
So you mean you right-clicked and "Save Target As..."? Either way, of course what you did is illegal...we all watched movies and shows on TV-Links, not download.

I was using TV links to watch Xena. I don't think I ever saw it in order, except for a few weeks at a time while it was in syndication. There was a lot to watch, I figured it would have taken me about a year-year and a half to get through all those seasons with the free time I had.
