UKNova TV Torrent Tracker Shut Down After FACT Issues C&D
New submitter Volfied writes with bad news for fans of UK shows that aren't available for purchase anywhere. From the article: "The UKNova website has stopped letting users share links to copies of UK TV shows, apparently after legal threats from the copyright "enforcement body FACT. 'UKNova is being forced to change. We have been issued with a "cease and desist" order by FACT,' the message began. 'Despite our efforts to cooperate with the UK media companies, FACT have stated: "ALL links or access to content provided by UKNova are infringing, unless it can be proven that explicit permission from the copyright holder for that content has been obtained."'"
A product's price being higher than what you think it should be is not justification for circumventing that price and just taking it. If it were, you would be justified in figuring out what a gallon of milk costs to stock in-store, and simply leaving that amount instead of paying the store's price.
But we call that shoplifting of course, and tend to recognize it as destructive to society.
