Hi,

I found this article in a site. I wonder is this true or not.
If its true then it gonna be bad for uploaders.

Check this...

A number of conclusions are going on based on this article. Most of them decided to say Bye bye to Rapidshare.

I myself own three accounts. I have to decide whether i can extend it or not. Hope i will get a reply.

Regards,
Elango

This is the reply i got from them...

Hello,


According to paragraph 101 of German Copyright Act, if a claim for disclosure
is ordered, we are required to publish a users IP address, provided we have
the IP address on record. The civil rights claim for disclosure is
independent of the servers location, but on the adaptability of German
legislation. For the most part this is a given, if a site is accessed from
within Germany.

Best regards,

Interesting,

Nice work man,

[Webestrian]

Yup.
All uploaders should say bye bye bye to RS.
and i guess katz should also change their preference from RS.

P.S. Better Katz start its own filehost

[elango87]

@ Webestrian

thats a good suggestion....

@ Ryan

Sure its interesting...

Why don't sites just block traffic from Germany ?

" if a site is accessed from
within Germany. "

[elango87]

i think this will be unfair for German people who are interested in Warez

[Djole1]

I think megaupload is a good host to change to as many people already have premium accounts and also contains many of the same features as RS. Just thought I should let people know.

It is better to lose a thing than losing the whole things.

[elango87]

@Echo,

Moving to some other File Hosting service will be a good option.
If katz initiates it, then i am sure that RS will loose atleast 10-20% of traffic per day.

[Djole1]

Hey I agree. But i think they will loos about 50% if Katz don't allow it.
