Isn't it just a matter of time till RapidShare get's sued?

Never mind Rapidshare, see what they are doing in France !

ISP's will have to disconnect users who do much downloading !

That will stop the whole thing it its tracks !

I have been suggesting the same thing to stop Spammers !

But What you are forgettin, Oink was linking to files to download and you could search files on that "Private Tracker",
Oink was dedicated to music file sharing and was known to all, But compare to RS, it's a file hosting site that is only dedicated to private personal file hosting, and they don't have no search feature included in RS, and they are complying with the law and shit, so they will never get into trouble, believe me, they know what they are doing,
Don't forget people also host legal stuff on RS, like homework,
documents, and stuff...

If they wanna prosecute RS in a court of law it will be much more difficult than it was on Oink, coz RS is legal for now

Which UPLOAD RULES have to be followed? (Terms of use)

No files with illegal contents, for example pornography, child pornography, racist material and/or unauthorized copies of copyrighted material. This statement of categories is not the completed list.
We will not tolerate any abuse of our servers for copyright violations and reserve the right to delete any file that has been uploaded and/or distributed in violation of German or international copyrights. Copyright protected content may especially not be distributed to third parties (for example by publishing links to copyright protected files on other websites).
We will therefore delete any copyright protected file that we find on Internet Forums, warez-sites, etc.

I don't think Oink had that kind of Rules ?

The only problem that RS could possibly have someday, but that won't so sure, it's that ISP's actually block access to their users to RS, but even that it won't stop RS

Coz you can still change ISP and go for another one...

Music Industry is loosing alot more then a couple of bucks but don't feel sorry for them. They need a new model and system so artists can get their proper due.

RS will never get sued

**helsing** · 12-05-2007, 05:33 PM
