    Default Digital Locker Service RapidShare Fined Over Copyrights

    A regional court in Hamburg, Germany has ordered file hosting and digital locker service RapidShare to pay a nearly $200,000 fine, for breaching an earlier injunction demanding it remove 150 e-books from its service, TorrentFreak reported.

    RapidShare was sued in February by a group of publishers that included McGraw-Hill, Pearson and Elsevier for hosting unauthorized copies of their e-books, which had been uploaded by RapidShare users.

    The court ordered RapidShare to remove the titles in question, or else face fines -- and has now imposed a fine, as most of the titles remained available on RapidShare.

    Interestingly, a different German court earlier this year overturned an injunction that would have compelled RapidShare to install a keyword filter to block copyrighted material from being shared.
