How RapidShare Plans To Avoid MegaUpload's Fate

concealment writes "On November 27, RapidShare will start putting a tight cap on outbound downloads for its free users. Paid members will still have 30 gigabytes in outbound downloads per day, but everybody else will be capped at one gigabyte. The change is expected to further deter pirates from using RapidShare to distribute copyright material on a large scale."

What fate are they speaking of?

Megaupload died because they were creating a service that was actually a threat to the music industry, so much so that they pulled some strings and got some people to bring back some dirt on Kims past to try use it to attack him. (TWICE at that, they took down his new site without it even being involved in ANY file sharing at all, highly illegal in BOTH of the countries involved!)

And the more stuff discovered about how they fucked with the legal system, the more and more I want to ban every American IP from ever accessing anything I run until they fix their damn legal system.
Of course, doing that will solve nothing because Americans are too lazy to give a damn about how wrecked their country is. (especially all those whiners who use that stupid .gov website crying about change and sitting on their asses doing nothing!)
Seriously, fix your shit. Don't even reply, do.
