Never heard of it... They might be legal, they might not.

I don't think what they're doing is illegal, since they're not hosting the content themselves. That's my take on it anyway.

By the looks of it they continually hop hosts as soon as one is taken down, so no it isn't legal, but this stuff has already been shown on TV and they are likely TV recordings so I personally don't see any problems.

Look up resent movies like Transformers and Harry Potter, and you'll find taped versions from the movie theaters, sometimes with bad Japanese commentary.

I think it's the good old 'we only link and do not host'. Personally, I love the site. I found a very old series called MASK (cartoon) which I used to watch. Dragonball Z is quite funto see after all those years too .

When I clicked on it I was just taken to http://www.imdb.com which claims to be an amazon company, but i doubt it.

I've known that website for awhile now. I mainly use it to watch things that came out over a decade ago and were never put on dvd, such as exo squad. I used to love that cartoon.

If they don't host it themselves, they're probably legal. However, whoever's hosting it might not be.

Thanks for the link. I got to check out Mask and I noticed they had a few episodes of Bravestar and probably a lot more of old childhood memories.

Man, they don't have the few episodes of Spaceketeers that where released in English (known as Starzinger in Sweden).

That said, yay, backup episodes of Andromeda! They don't show it on TV here anymore. Not on the channels I get anyway, which is a real shame cause it's awesome.

Anywho, time for some gambling! I bet, oh idk, $0.10 that this gets locked. Or is that 0.10$. irdk.


You are not alone.

Dunno...depends, do you want to see a crappy version of The Simpsons movie or the real thing? I'd pick the latter. If they didn't have the latest stuff on there and only things on TV then I'd probably say that it was as the videos (Yeah I looked at Family Guy on there) are terrible quality. Though I don't know the copyright laws as such, but I think it should because I never catch shows like family guy because of when they're on and I don't want to have to buy the DVD box set or Sky+ because of it.

Oh no... this is the end of Tv-Links.


Blastwave, your not supposed to tell people about sites like these. Thats how they get shut down. I need this site, so when I miss and episode of my favorite TV show, I can always just sit back and watch it on this website.

I've been through so many sites like TV-Links. Each one of them got shut down thanks to people telling everybody they knew. I know its selfish not to tell people, but seriously, don't you want it to stay up?

I wish you hadn't posted this

If something has been on tv I never really see it as stealing if its uploaded to the web, its the same as recording the program....its more like a mate recorded it for you and lets you borrow the tapes.

That's what I told the RIAA when they caught me downloading mp3s! I was like "but they were played on the radio"
