UPDATE: Watch-Movies and TVShack have reappeared! They can be found at http://www.watch-movies-tv.info/ and http://TVShack.cc respectively.
In a chilling decision by the Department of Justice and several other US government agencies, a warrant was obtained to seize domains of 7 internet movie websites, which effectively shuts them down.
The seven websites;
are now all shutdown and have only the following notice plastered on them.
The government agencies cited a MPAA figure that the US film industry losses $25.6 billion dollars a year to pirate websites. Obviously the figure is completely made up (the US film industry only made $10.6 billion in 2009), which makes it seem that the film industry needs to make up bogus stats and figures in order to file legal charges.
I can't explain how utterly upset I am at my country at this point. Sure, these websites provided movies for free, but do they really expect us to buy $20 tickets to go see movies? That is an underlying reason why so many streaming video website sprung up, and it isn't the fault of the people...but rather the film industry backing people into a corner with their monopoly over film distribution.
Sad panda =(
In the meantime, check out our list of the top 25 movie websites (which we'll update later today to reflect the recent changes).

The Government wont win this one as soon as you shut a site down ten more will come!!!!

The government on keeps thing going only if it is in there interest. Almost $20 per ticket plus drinks and snacks. So almost 60 bucks for the night. The the web sites going and screw the government and movie people.
you can watch 90% of all tv shows and movies by installing this toolbar
http://FreeMovieLinksTK.OurToolbar.com/exe
or going to
http://free-movie-links.tk
i recomend you install the toolbar
why dont you move the site to a country outside the USA's limits... indian,china,canada,mexico,argentina,russia, ect...
funny, the US praises july symbolically with FREEDOM, and then they try to limit it. huh?
I can agree with you on this one it is total bullshit. mcafee is even in on it, every time i go to the site and try to watch a movie my mcafee kicks on and says that the website is a threat and may contain virues and then trys to redirect me to my homepage. Its a total black-list and i think that it is bullshit the internet is free to all. If they can stop people from viewing certain sites and take that away then what else are they able to do. It's control over the media we are only allowed to watch what they allow.
Just tried to download your tool bar link and my security tool bar blocked the site from downloading files to my computer. what the hell. shouldnt i be able to decide what is a treat to my computer and what is not dont i have the right or the freedom i might as well be a kid again.
you dont need drinks and snacks u fucking idiot
