www.tv-links.co.uk was a website which was one the most used pirated movie websites. The website featured many TV shows such as 24 that people could watch online for no cost. After the investigation of the site, there were raids and arrests of the operators of the site for copyright infringement. Visitors of the site could also view movies that were hand recorded in cinemas and put online. People were able to access these movies online days after they were put in theaters. This was the first major target in a campaign to crack down on web piracy.
In my opinion this is a good step to take towards cracking down on web piracy. There are an websites on the Internet today that are breaking copyright laws. It is good that a campaign has begun to crack down on this. From my experience, I know about 4 websites where I can watch nearly unlimited TV shows and multiple movies for free. I know these sites are most likely not legitimate websites, but they are still in existence. With all of these websites still in existence it is hurting the television industry along with the movie industry because people are a lot less likely to go out and buy a movie if they already have access to it at any time.
