Tears for TvLinks

Sometimes, when I am at home*, I can't help but want to watch the "All good things..." episode of Star Trek, The Next Generation. As mentioned earlier, I don't own a DVR; In such situations, there was one place I could always turn-- Tvlinks.co.uk.

Like many of you, I discovered that the bloke behind TvLinks was arrested for facilitating the viewership of copyrighted media a few days ago. I instantly clicked on my bookmarked page and was rather disappointed by the loss of a good friend..err..website.

RIP TV

I know that the government insists on raining on every net pirates parade, but why him? He not only had a disclaimer on his site, but he also did not provide videos--just links. It was bloody genius really. I believed this guy was going to make it, but the damn feds always have to persecute people, even if its an individual who is standing by the sidelines of "crime." I am totally having Seinfeld "good Samaritan" flashbacks. Have no clue what I'm talking about? You'll probably have to buy the DVD for like $30+ bucks, since the beloved site has been shut down.

Anyway, when I found out the site was gone, I madly searched for other sites that would have similar content. It was the Napster to Morpheus switch all over again. Except this time, I couldn't seem to find a site that has the clean interface and good connected links as the UK site. I know of Joox, but that site does not have the selection [or the intuitive web page] that I am looking for.

Have any of you come across anything that will fill this void? Or will I have to resort to amateur You Tube videos to entertain me on slow news days? PLZ HALP!

*That actually means work, but I didn't want to sound like a slacker.

You may want to check out a site that was posted in the comments to that Slashdot article, http://www.alluc.org" rel="nofollow">alluc.org. While it's no where near as nice as TV-Links was, it's not too bad.

I just found TV-Links not even a week ago. It was great for watching shows on the Wii, it's a shame it's gone.

Maybe I'm Way behind, or just don't give a crap. but until it was mentioned on I think BOL, I had no idea of it's very existence.

I agree that the Copyright Police have bigger problems than this dude, but how much sorrow can I feel for a service I've never used and never intended to use.
