Here is a comment from one of the moderators of the site
Ihave used Tv-Links on many occassions and i was also a moderator which i am proud to say. I have been on the site for over a year i believe. Although they did embed the files are still hosted on yourtube and google the content does NOT go on tv-links. There was also talk about another forum member who was held for questioning for 5 hours in Ireland he/she has verified this and i won't divulge his/her name but that person was released and was not prosecuted and neither has the owned for the simple reason as the site was NOT illegal it was merely a quick tool to do what you can do on google anyway you can quite easily go to google and type "family guy s01 ep3" or something along those lines and get the main video. If linking to google is illegal then what is google? There are numerous other sites doing the exact same thing as Tv-Links nothing is going to change by F.A.C.T's actions if anything more sites will be published to keep Tv-Links style websites alive.
When programs like Kazaa were shut down oh so long ago another 3 took its place. There is now an opening in the market for such sites and that opening will be packed with other sites getting into Tv-Links' HUGE place with Tv-Links over 37,000 registered users and probably 500,000 unique users a month there is definetly room for other sites.
You what is strange we havent heard anything about this on the TV I only became aware of this from reading it on GFY, Normally things like this are on the TV before they even get into the papers.
