Dotcom launched the new fire-sharing website on January 20 in a blaze of fireworks and publicity.Less than two weeks later and Computerworld.com is reporting the company removed content after receiving 150 copyright infringement notices." Raise your hand if you're shocked, simply shocked.

Because encrypted data that can't be unencrypted is useless.

I don't think you understand the idea of sharing if you think handing someone a blob of randomness and saying 'its encrypted!' is what sharing is.

Dotcom uses websites to profit from people sharing files that they shouldn't be sharing. If you still don't understand that, stop reading now, theres no way anything on this post or entire thread will make sense to you.

In order for people to give a flying fuck about his website ... where he makes money off ads ... they have to be able to decrypt whatever is on the site. That information is more or less made public, in which case, its trivial for anyone to figure out whats on the site.

Why is it so difficult to understand that other people kind find warez on the Internet just like you can?

People that need to legitimately share things do it in a far less complicated way.
