I'm sure this is bad news for many here.........
"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."
Get out your hankies people and start crying now, because the website TV-Links.co.uk is officially gone for good, which means no more lovely shows to watch online anymore. Not from that site at least.
It was undoubtedly one of the (if not THE) most extensive link-sites for television on the net with great shows like "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" all the way to "Xena: Warrior Princess" with so much more on the outside, and in between. The fact: it housed links to a whopping 800+ different shows, and that's only on the "Television" page (which doesn't count the movies, anime, cartoons, and documentaries it linked to also).
And now, all that is left of the TV Show Listings, is one cached page from months ago, which (if it comforts you so) can be viewed at the following link:

Fear not though, another site will come along soon. And when it does I guarantee you that not too long after, it too will get the axe. Such is the life for these kinds of sites.
But hey, at least we have EZTV, right? In a land of give and take between the studios and the pirating fans, I suppose that at least is good enough.
Now let's just hope that the next will look as pretty and be as well organized as TV-links...and have as many great shows that you just can't find anywhere else...and...
Alas, I think I might go have a good cry now. Anyone wish to join me?
