Copyrights in all Western countries are based on the Bern convention, now guess in which country Bern is? So that makes Switzerland the craddle of copyright laws. Also, watersports, scat, hard sm, bestiality and cp content are illegal in Switzerland while RapidShare is the biggest Swiss distributor of these niches so I wouldn't be too sure about whether RapidShare isn't violating any other Swiss laws.

Oron on the other hand, i hope has their assets seized, as they are clearly running an illegal business with blatant disregard for international law.
That being said, i am not a supporter of killing peoples business without due process and a fair day in court.

Yeah right, file lockers killing small independent content producers and software developers, now THAT'S fair!
Laws are laws, we're all supposed to know and respect them and the laws on copyrights are clear and simple: keep your hands of the intelligent properties of others.
