I guess they just worked-out with the logs who was downloading/sharing the material and removed it, even though they didn't have the certitude that it was copyrighted - w***kers !

They Weren't Labelled DVDRip Or S01E01 Something Like That? It Seems Alot Of Them Are Searching For Those Terms Used By File Sharers To Delete The Files. I Would Love To Put Up A Legitimate File I Created (Say An In House Training Video) & Label It Like That, Then If It Gets Deleted Complain Like Crazy. Cause Alot Of People Have Been Complaining That Their Legitimate Files Are Being Deleted.

My first up-loads were the title or later ones, just the letters, I never used 'DVD rip' or 'XVID' etc. example 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' = FBDO ! Lol !

I believe the best way to protect an upload is to put it inside a passworded RAR (make sure "encrypt file names" is on), give it an unattractive name like "summer photos 2011.rar", and use a link protector.

The problem is, there's at least a couple of hosters that don't take passworded archives.

Is dropbox an answer?

If you don't want to get caught - don't do it.

It is like saying if I shoot someone, but wear a mask, is it OK to do, as I might not get caught?

That might be the worst analogy i have ever read.

well at least you refrained from linking filesharing to terrorism or child molestation ....for now at least.

Why pay when there are lots of free sites??
