Rapidshare problems

Rapidshare megapopular file sharing resource is accused by a German court of posting copyrighted material.

The lawsuit was filed by the German organization GEMA (analogue of the RIAA). The court hearing was held on January 23, 2008. GEMA won.

The verdict is quite strict. The court did not limit itself to taking illegal files. Rapidshare was instructed to monitor each download and report on it. It is highly likely to lead to unprofitability of the service and its possible closure.

The consequences of this court case may affect other open-access file hosting.

Sorry for Rapid. Even though she bothered me with her timer that was not working in Firefox (I was the only one) and I had a disgusting design, I loved it.
