After threats from FACT.
An interesting case this one, certainly ethically...
No ads
Not for profit
No staff paid
No listings for anything available for purchase
FACT demanding takedowns of content they have no authority over whatsoever.
I never used the site, indeed hadn't heard of it but from what I've read it is a real shame.
An ethical digital catchup site? Can't have that, can't allow people content they cannot get any other way because their VCR crapped up/out of the country, serving the country.
I find it interesting the FACT refuse to comment, typically they're happy to shout from the rooftops about a major thing like this. PR blunder?
This kind of thing really makes me mad: "Oh pirate this, pirate that, oh we're losing money"...yeah, on content you aired for free and wont sell.
Edit: And yes, illegal is illegal, but no-one gives a toss about ripping a CD to itunes. No-one is going after big companies for 'infringment/facilitation thereof' on a massive scale. I see this offering as no different to ripping a CD to MP3/catchup TV site, personally.
