Rapidshare stop their reward program
 

"unjustified general suspicion" :1orglaugh
Wise decision and timing by Rapidshare now that US federals and Interpol have begun seizing domains, servers, assets and logs. :pimp

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh what a statement, i want to know who wrote it :warning

Toe hee!
:winkwink:

ah they made the decision to do that on june 18th

the servers were seized in the last couple of days.

cause comes before not after effect.

They saw it coming, but it won't make much of a difference, Rapidshare sucks with their download speeds Premium or Free, it's a POS

edit: I download all of my microsoft shit instead of buying it now ever since they screwed me with Hotmail :)

Only a matter of time before they go after all the free file hosts. It's a brave new world. Hopefully the people profiting have also created some websites that pull SE traffic and have earnings that aren't based on theft..

Yes, when they advertise and pay for crimes with their "business model", they will also get attention from authorities.

omg... what a bullshit....

Nice morals there, so because the stupid clerk at Walmart over charged me for something the next time I go in there I can steal something?

rapidshare cancelled their free download program

They are running a big risk of fucking up their entire business, it's not like they have no competition.

They made the initial announcement months ago. That's why many of the spongers have switched to other services. Go to the boards - you'll see RapidShare links have been falling off in favor of Sharing Matrix, Deposit Files, and the others.

Problem is that no matter how much they try to clean up they cant.
Not unless they completely clean their entire network which would probably kill them right off.

So when they get checked "if" they get checked they are doomed
They would most likely be better off setting up a new company and system, and eventually have that take over for RapidShare completely but with much tighter rules and more monitored.

Rapidshare is old news. There are so many others cropping up. Hell Sharing Matrix will even pay you to share illegal stuff on their website. When Napster went down you think that stopped music sharing, no.
