The RapidShare service provides user information to German law enforcement agencies.
According to the latest news in Western and Eastern European blogs, forums and IT news sites, another bastion has been delivered. 
The Rapidshare service provided the German police with information about users who violated copyrights and placed the last Metallica album Death Magnetic on the popular service in 2008, the day before the official release.
According to the suggestion made on the German-language news site Gulli, law enforcement agencies obtained the IP addresses of users from Rapidshare and then found out the rest of the contact information from Deutsche Telekom.
It also contains excerpts from the court records, scan below.
RapidShare, at the time of this publication, has not yet responded to requests to confirm or deny the information.
Will wait.
again danger.

UPD it seems that in this case the user was not “burned” by a non-paid account (which does not interfere with being premium due to points added for download downloaded files for which premium can be borrowed), since they tracked not by credit card but by IP and followed by Deutsche Telekom , although it may be wrong.
I also do not understand, from the news read on this topic, which particular .com or .de service passed the user.
As I remember, the .com servers were transferred to a country where German law, with its 101st paragraph (which allows you to demand data about users from services and provides criminal penalties for refusing to provide them), cannot reach.
