^ This.
Does anyone concerned about privacy think that Hotfile really cares to protect your privacy? They only care about the money they are stealing. As things progress and more pressure is put on them, they will hang their affiliates and their users out to dry to save their own asses. That will be the best part. Their true colors...
There are lots of companies that allow you to share files online. Dropbox is one. But they are not paying people to upload stolen content then providing harbor and financial support for sites built around posting the stolen content. Skirting around DMCA requests and being coy about taking simple steps to keep this content off their servers. Why don't they just ban repeat offenders? It's a big joke.
