One of the world's most-used pirate film websites has been closed after providing links to illegal versions of major Hollywood hits and TV shows.
The first closure of a major UK-based pirate site was also 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, Fact said

The site owner has been arrested, although the police have "declined to say what he was arrested for"
His site was closed for "Piracy" when all it hosted was "links" to other sites. I therefore wonder if I gave someone directions to a motorway and they chose to speed, that I could be arrested for "assisting in the offence" ?
Sorry, but the site is gone, for now

Yeah, the owner of the site was arrested for posting copyrighted content, and lots of it on his site.
So, don't ever expect it to be back up again.
Sorry.
