UKNova drops torrents after threats from FACT

Re: It's just not cricket

Actually not one episode of Only Fools and Horses, Red Dwarf, Soldier Soldier etc. was available on the site when the DVD/Blu-Ray/whatever box-set was released. UKN had a strict policy of removing any and all content for which the DVD was available.

A case in point is Coast. I'm an ex-pat and I used to like catching up on my UK telly through UKN. I was getting each episode of Coast until the DVD release date. Then all existing torrents were removed, and no new ones were permitted. The same with Doctor Who (even episodes from the 70's and 80's), Downton Abbey etc. etc. The list goes on.

UKN was an ethical operator - the only one I've ever encountered - and I, for one, will miss it.
