i Doubt that it will ever get closed at all , the holders arent responsible for what the users post.
Besides the files are getting deleted after the complains too , so they cant say rapidshare doesnt do anything about it.

“and the beginning of rapidshare.sw / .es / .pt / …”

Yea couldn’t they just keep doing that, but change there terms of service every time they get sued?

this may well be the end of rapidshare.de …
and the beginning of rapidshare.sw / .es / .pt / …

not that this would help rapidshare not to get sued. but the past shows that the courts in other countries will decide differently in these questions.

in essence the users would be shutting down rapid share….. well just the ones who upload files that are under copyright law…… but that’s how it works……. a bunch of users upload illegals to a (supposedly) innocent company to begin with, then a lot of people download, eventually a media company catches on, then said (supposedly) innocent company ends up getting threats from media company…….. and in the end……. everyone loses……… the (supposedly) innocent company loses everything, functionality, speed, users, income, and or et cetera…… the people lose what is (presumably) a good place to store and share files (legitimate or not)…….. the media company loses, well because they can’t stop the pirates and the pirates will just move on to the next place that will take them…….. the pirates lose by, uh, having to look for another site and possibly getting caught for uploading an illegal file…. I guess…….. but hey……. all the rest of the people who don’t use the site, um, they lose a sight that they might have used in the future…….. of course there’s always more……….. always……..if only they could just identify what a file is by its data (because names and extensions can be changed with ease) and prevented encrypted files to be stored on their servers……. if only…… though those would both slow things down…..
