it was only a matter of time figuring theres a million site like rapidshare and its one of the most popluar it was bound to happen. They cant stop file sharing as soon as rapid share goes down another one will pop up its a never ending battle. So i say share everything and lets see the MPAA RIAA and everyone else backing them go down in flames. Figuring the corporations could careless about you and the consumers why taking your money either way i say pirate away. Sad to see theres no real resolution in it. just my 2 cents on the subject

Its strange that this isn't the RIAA suing. Other sites have already picked up on the Rapidshare thing. They are just a Google away. :p

This is absloutlety crappy. Ok maybe people do it but i find it a very good way of sharing more than programs it can be used to send large video files and music to the people who you want to give it to if you don't have a server setup yourself.

1.Do you know of the word "punctuation?" Learn it, love it, use it.
Also did you know your full of it? Rapidshare has a grip of users, and guess what, a lot do not use it for piracy reasons. I have a premium account and use it to share family vids with members of my family that live across the country, do I deserve jail time? This is a german agency, therefore will have no affect for people like me in the US....even if it did, RS would cease to exist because I gurantee if RS gave up personal info they would be out of business.
There are bigger fish to fry, why not spend the cash on convicting rapists or trying to find a cure for a disease such as AIDS? You want to know why? These big agencies are full of sh!t and are only worried about lining their pockets. Period.

thats what they want to control data to enforce fees so that this "data" is protected from their wrath...there is a reason they are part of the media mafia.
svtstang/webe123
so I take it he dosent have the right to complain that its a fee based service that maybe might be breaking the law because tis making a profit off illicit transfers,its one thing to to skirt the law its another to openly break it and expect that nothing will happen.

There is nothing wrong with rapidshare i have used it for months.
Microsoft: Ps3 cant do 60fps on 1080p. Guess what they were WRONG!!!!!
(11/19/05 - 9/19/06) Microsoft: Sony's 1080p support on PS3 is all Hype and Not Needed.
(9/20/06) Microsoft: Xbox 360 to add 1080p support. |

@ZippyDSM...I could really care LESS WHAT you think!
If I want to say something I am going to, regardless of what you say or do.
And I was adressing the fact that the he thought that it was FUNNY about people possibly getting sued for using the site. If that is what he thinks is funny, there is something with both HIM and YOU if you are of the same mindset...which apparently you are for sticking up for a troll.

so another court decision favoring the big corps...
sueing the space provider because of the content users put there is the same as saying that if you rent a house to a drug smuggler you´ll be responsible for his crimes...
so as the saying goes, everyone is equal before the law, ... but some are more equal than others...

Some folks just don't read the fine print. GEMA took the high profile road instead of using the "friendly" option Rapidshare provides. From the Rapidshare support link (http://rapidshare.com/en/imprint.html):
Abuse-Management:
Illegal files will be deleted as soon as we get notice about them. We will also put them on an internal black-list so they can't be uploaded again. Please write an e-mail with the exact links to the files to our abuse department at abuse@rapidshare.com.
To make sure your e-mail will be processed as fast as possible, please add the following details:
- Please identify yourself as the owner of the material or as an authorized person to act for the owner.
- Please add your contact-details including your telephone-number so we can contact you if we have questions.
- Please add the links to the files the following way: http://rapidshare.com/files/...

I guess sites like this one that made mirrors for every rapidshare file are lucky now.

Every datail of the laws involving file sharing should be made known to the web users sort of a bill of rights per country or better yet Worldwide.I use RS to get films on Divx is that Illegal?
Most software and movies let's face it ,if you want it you're gonna buy it from the company to get the best product.
I'm afraid though the File sharing freedoms of today are gonna be like
other alleged freedoms a thing of the past and something to tell our grandchildren about.
The powers that be are like my bosses at my job,they care but they don't care.Enjoy while you may!!
