Pirate Film Website 'Tv-Links' Shut Down and Man Arrested
19th Oct 2007

A popular pirate film website Tv-links.co.uk was shut down today for providing links to illegal versions of major Hollywood hits and TV shows.

This is the first closure of a major UK-based pirate site and was accompanied by raids and an arrest, the anti-piracy group Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact) said today.

A 26-year-old man from Cheltenham was arrested on Thursday in connection with offences relating to the facilitation of copyright infringement on the internet.

The arrest and the closure of the site came during an operation by officers from Gloucestershire County Council trading standards in conjunction with investigators from Fact and Gloucestershire Police.
