Tv.links.co.uk shut down and owner arrested

TVLinks used to be the one of a chosen slew of websites I would visit on a daily basis. I went to bed with tv.links every night, laughing at comedies like the office, mighty boosh, scrubs, that 70s show and of course mythbusters. But now my nights have been unfruitful. As the title suggests tv-l has been shut down and the owner arrested. The site hosted links to sites such as google, stage6, youtube, and dailymotion.On the 19th, the Gloucestershire County Council, in association with a group called the FACT, raided the site’s servers and arrested the 26 year old man from Cheltenham who ran the site. He is now in prison because he runs a site where other people submit low resolution tv shows hosted by google and youtube, FACT did not raid Google, they instead chose a site that provides links to shows hosted on their website. But least we forget Google is a huge conglomerate that's filthy rich, they are of course above the law. (I am however thankful for Gmail, don't get me wrong.)I'm not sure about the copyright laws in the UK, but as far as I know(used to anyways) the the justice system is clearly broken. Not only has the owner been arrested, but some of the mods have been as well. One mod who lives in Ireland has been arrested and held for 5 hours in jail, this is what he had to say on the forum:
“Well I may aswell post here now. I was an SMod on tv-l, ive been in a police station for the last 5 hours been questioned about my involvement in the site. Apparently they can charge me for involvement in organized crime!!! WTF!!!! The scary thing is that im not even in the UK, im in Ireland, which is governed by FACT (Federation Against Copyright Theft) the police operation was massive scale, I was on tv-l just as it went offline, no warning whatsoever. AFAIK Sin (site owner) is still been held. All I know for sure is that the sites gone (for now anyway)… and that we (mods) could, in theory (if it goes this far) be sued £100,000,000, which FACT are saying is what the industry lost as a direct result of the site. Needless to say, im a little concerned atm(at the moment)”
You read right £100,000,000 that's translated to $205.23 million or $14572.91 million Jamaican dollars ( i did the Jamaican dollars for dramatic effect.)
He finally said he doesn't know how this will all end but rest assured they will not go down kicking and screaming. Good luck to them, they have made a little petition to save the poor brute sign up at http://www.petitiononline.com/21212594/petition.html
As of now they haven't pressed any charges.

Feels like a Christmas

Yes, I know, it's October, but it feels like Christmas. My lovely granny made some sorrel for us last night, and we have bun and cheese. If that's not christmas I don't know what it is. In unrelated news watch this funny clip even though it's old.
