In previous years, tv-links and Oink have been shut down and their respective owners arrested, although the former was never made stand trial. Now another site that links to allegedly infringing content, including television shows, has been shut down.
Filesoup began in 2003 and up until its closure acted as a forum where users could post links to various files.
This is another victory for copyright holders, as represented by the group, known in Britain as FACT. However, the law in Britain regarding sites that link is underdeveloped and so it will be worth waiting to see whether official charges will eventually be made or not.
