UK based website TV-Links.co.uk was shut down by to British authorities few days back and the webmaster of this site and other staff members are also arrested. Why? Only because their website provided links to TV shows posted on various video-sharing websites, like YouTube or Google Video. Yes only links and they didn’t host any content on their server. They surely must be keeping the illegal content link intentionally but then only a warning and forced illegal content link removal can be done, arrest and total site shut down was not required when torrent sites are openly running which also have the same thing to say that they don’t host any content. Why not shut down YouTube for hosting illegal content? At least why not question YouTube moderation staff at least when TV-Links.co.uk moderation staff was arrested for not doing their job!
