Possibly, but with the fact that Rapidshare is based somewhere in Europe (I don't remember where because they keep changing) they are not subject to MPAA or RIAA requests I don't think. Their country's government needs to do that and I do remember they made it to where Rapidshare had to police every file that gets put onto their server not too long ago. I remember there was a thread about that. And you know what they probably are trying their damndest to do that but there's probably hundreds, maybe thousands of files uploaded to Rapidshare hourly. There's literally no way they could hire the manpower to police all these files and then go through an pull out every IP address that downloaded these. I can't even begin to imagine the logistics and the measures they'd need to make in order to actually do that.

My belief is that RS (Germany) will eventually go the way of Napster and legitimize so much as to be a pay per click/dl host that passes fees to the MPAA/RIAA/etc. And they will be replaced by the likes of Megaupload (Hong Kong) and a thousand more.
And I've stated on here before that I will never torrent. You are 'hosting' the files in that equation. And as far as I can tell, no one's getting sued for anything but that. Long live the foreign hosting sites!

It doesn't really matter though, because if the telecoms get there way in the Net Neutrality battles, we will all be paying alot more to our providers for access; which is probably the only true way to collect revenue from us. Comcast is gonna buy NBC/Universal, so do think their gonna let us d/l 1.4GB video files for the same flat rate? They know what's going on. The access providers are merging with the content providers in an effort to regain a grip.

I'm looking at it from the point of view of Comcast. If the MPAA/RIAA/Obama Admin. shuts you down if you're downloading because of fines and shit, wouldn't Comcast be against that in order to stay competitive and keep their customers who other ISP's won't rat out??

Who do you think the MPAA/RIAA is?
It's the content providers. They lobby for the legislation.
Obama doesn't want your fucking tranny porn Pred - lay off with the politics for one fucking second and look at the corporations that are spoon feeding guys like you your 'faux' facts.

Dude, take a fucking joke for once.

Anyway, what difference do you think the Net Neutrality being pushed through is going to have on this??
