- MarcAnon, on 04/25/2009, -6/+193Come on, doesn't rapidshare realize that this is the ONLY REASON people use rapidshare?
- fury420, on 04/25/2009, -12/+131lol nice, so much for rapidshare
- SweetChinMusic, on 04/26/2009, -4/+112Rapidshare will rapidly share your details with the RIAA.
- randomchar, on 04/25/2009, -9/+98lol to everyone who thought RS was safer than bittorrent.
- brucealmighty, on 04/25/2009, -5/+77RS is still safer for DOWN-loaders than using Bittorrents. It's only uploaders at RS who are at risk. At least so far.
- moulin1, on 04/26/2009, -1/+57Rapidshare does not appear to have any privacy policy at all.
- iDoraemon, on 04/26/2009, -3/+58That's very douche-y, Rapidshare.
/goes back to Megaupload - egemenbor, on 04/26/2009, -0/+49isnt this the reason why uploaders tend to password the .rar files that they upload?
- thefredsociety, on 04/26/2009, -4/+40RS have shot themselves in the foot. With nobody uploading pirated content, I say RS will be going straight to hell in a matter of months.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -6/+36Your mom should be jailed for having you. lol
- hyanakin, on 04/25/2009, -5/+31use anonymous proxies in russia :)
- rpgmakr, on 04/26/2009, -3/+29Without uploaders what would you download?
- Metavised, on 04/26/2009, -4/+27Don't let this shock you, if you plan to post anything that could be deemed illegal in ANY country you should expect someone to be watching and even more to give you up quickly. Read up on anonymity strategies on the internet, and protect yourselves.
A good start in protecting yourselves:
http://page.freett.com/xxxti/darkfaqs/SurfSafe.htm - alpha88, on 04/26/2009, -2/+23Wow, ***** you too Rapidshare.
The only reason to use them is gone. No more retarded captchas and waiting times, on to Mediafire! - pigfister, on 04/26/2009, -1/+22upload via a proxy then the RIAA will never be given any correct details regarding the uploader!
lets not for get who is actually behind the MPAA - RIAA, these are the companies that need to be targeted and boycotted into changing their ways.
Name and shame the companies as all the **AA trade group name is for is to protect the ***** capitalist corporate globalist wankers from bad press.

RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artist Royalties For Internet Radio
http://slashdot.org/articles/07/04/29/0335224.shtm ...
"With the furor over the impending rate hike for Internet radio stations, wouldn't a good solution be for streaming internet stations to simply not play RIAA-affiliated labels' music and focus on independent artists? Sounds good, except that the RIAA's affiliate organization SoundExchange claims it has the right to collect royalties for any artist, no matter if they have signed with an RIAA label or not. 'SoundExchange (the RIAA) considers any digital performance of a song as falling under their compulsory license. If any artist records a song, SoundExchange has the right to collect royalties for its performance on Internet radio. Artists can offer to download their music for free, but they cannot offer their songs to Internet radio for free ... So how it works is that SoundExchange collects money through compulsory royalties from Webcasters and holds onto the money. If a label or artist wants their share of the money, they must become a member of SoundExchange and pay a fee to collect their royalties.'"

Anyone who doesn't take on some kind of layer to separate yourself from those who would like to put you in ass rape jails deserve to be put in said jails.
- jasdf, on 04/26/2009, -2/+22They are still only prosecuting uploaders, downloaders should still be safe.
- skaspud, on 04/26/2009, -1/+20well that's lame.
- Qumahlin, on 04/26/2009, -0/+19When the ***** is that page from? 1992? I agree with what you saying, but that link is just horrible and outdated information.
- MWeather, on 04/26/2009, -1/+20So is The Pirate Bay.
- funkyloki, on 04/26/2009, -0/+18Bought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department.
- AndrewDB, on 04/26/2009, -1/+19And Rapidshare's use will now just rapidly decline after this goes public.
- graemee, on 04/26/2009, -1/+18better than the old cat capcha RS used until recently.
- wikinerd, on 04/26/2009, -1/+18RS is famous for not deleting infringing files if they're popular... I guess this is the industry's payback...
- xdarkfluxx, on 04/26/2009, -3/+18Except megaupload now has gay capchas.
/goes to mediafire - computershack, on 04/26/2009, -1/+15..unless you're a downloader with a premium account.
- ZionicIon, on 04/26/2009, -0/+14I thought it was for porn...
- Llanowar, on 04/26/2009, -0/+14Or you can rar it into multiple parts.
- JRowe3388, on 04/26/2009, -0/+13It looks like someone at the RIAA has an account at Digg.
- daschupa, on 04/26/2009, -0/+13But only after they enter the correct CAPTCHA and wait 60 seconds, unless they get the premium account that is.
- rpgmakr, on 04/26/2009, -1/+14Well, they had a really dehumanising CAPTCHA a few months ago.
- DeMiNe0, on 04/26/2009, -3/+16In soviet russia anonymous proxies use YOU!
- MWeather, on 04/26/2009, -2/+15Downloading is legal, of course it's safe.
- themastersb, on 04/26/2009, -4/+17Megaupload is much better than ***** anyways.
- urbanetruth, on 05/01/2009, -0/+13Rapidshare should just not save IP addresses for more than 10 minutes.
- grapesofbaath, on 04/26/2009, -4/+17Of course it has to be a Metallica album that brings the van. Lars Ulrich is probably sitting at home masturbating to this article right now. Speaking of Lars Ulrich, how the hell did he ever become a "rock star"? His voice sounds like a gay New York jew, and he physically looks like the kind of annoying snotty geek-kid who needed weekly ass-kickings in high school, despite being 45.
- aywwts4, on 04/26/2009, -0/+11+1 for an accurate Soviet Russia joke.
It doesn't make much sense that some kindhearted Mother Teresa of the internet will set up an open relay on a fat pipe for all the filth, kiddie porn, and spam of the internet to anonymize behind.
Who wants to bet me some money that these proxies are deep packet inspecting all the traffic going through their servers, just waiting for that unencrypted credit card info. (the ones that aren't just hacked legitimate servers tricked into being open relays, the Russian proxies)
And before you say only an idiot would use a proxy with a credit card, I have consulted in IT for years, some people have tried to use proxies specifically so they could shop on ebay when it was blocked. Or a coworker sets up a proxy, and never takes it off, and for the next 5 years this computer has just been "The slow one" and I don't get called in until the proxy goes down. - iamheero1, on 04/26/2009, -3/+14Yeah who'd want to get a movie or game in a few minutes, that's for chumps right engrish? I'm with you, waiting and individually selecting links to download is the *****.
- bagelmaster, on 04/26/2009, -0/+11Because he happened to be the drummer for Metallica. That's how. It could have been any other drummer but it happened to be Lars.
- urbanetruth, on 05/01/2009, -0/+10Rapidshare is not required to save IP addresses.
Most companies that save IP addresses do so for their own tracking and profit-driven purposes. - nukeleearr, on 04/26/2009, -0/+10It's still illegal, except instead of going after the uploaders they will file lawsuits against rapidshare
- Philbert, on 04/26/2009, -0/+10I don't. I use it very frequently to send large files to clients. Actually, the last file I needed to send was 309MB, much too large for them so I had to go hunting for another site that offered more space.
- xdarkfluxx, on 04/26/2009, -0/+10They now check for illegal files now though.
- blackjack75, on 04/26/2009, -0/+9Actually before the advent of drop.io and alike it was rather useful... even for some legal stuff.
- Ahweb, on 04/26/2009, -0/+9It's Digg here, remember ?
- alpha88, on 04/26/2009, -1/+10That's not hypocrisy.
- DarthLamp, on 04/26/2009, -0/+9Well... the porn should still be fine... right?
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -2/+11well that sucks
- computershack, on 04/26/2009, -1/+9There's going to be a ***** of people absolutely crapping themselves now. Those who use Rapidshare a lot will have premium accounts, all paid for by lovely traceable payment options.
It's going to be an absolute field day for the enforcers. - ifonly, on 04/26/2009, -0/+8Use http://gazup.com and get the best of both worlds.
