UK based torrent tracking website, UKNova will stop providing BitTorrent links after being asked by the Federation Against Copyright Theft (Fact).
Started operation in 2003, the UKNova BitTorrent site was being used by Britons staying overseas to catch up with TV shows which they would not access through TV broadcast due geographical constraint or inability to watch the show in given time.
FACT was reported to have been in touch with the site but did not provide any details, according to BBC.
UKNova claims itself to be an ethical site insisting the links it publishes on the site are non-commercial in nature.
The company has also published a set of ethical guidelines which would prevent revenue losses to the copyright holders.
UKNova also claims that the site does not have any pirated material on its own servers, but only provides its members to download and upload material to and from each others’ computers.
UKNova site administrator Roger Evans told BBC, "Our main concern always was to take an ethical stance and to do no harm to any revenue streams of programme makers or broadcasters."
"To ensure that happened we always had a strict policy that nothing available on DVD or premium TV channels would be available." Evans added.
Earlier this month the founder and owner of UK streaming link site, SurfTheChannel.com, Anton Vickerman was sentenced to four years jail term after investigation by FACT.
