TV Links - Operation

Operation

Video content that was used by the website was hosted by third-party video sharing websites. TV Links used hyperlinks, and later a streaming web-based video player, in order to link visitors to videos.

The website had a forum community with a membership of around 37,000 members at the time of closure. Links to videos were posted daily on the forums by members, and later moved to the website listings by admins.

After the video player was introduced, the website's crew enforced a strict policy against saving the provided video content, and viewing it outside the scope of its video player. This policy was further enforced by a technical implementation, the URL that directed the video player to video files contained a randomly generated MD5 encoded string, and was made to expire after several minutes, or after being loaded once.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:

    An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.
    Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
