What makes hosts like rapidshare exceptions is that they are free; since they don't have to be payed for, the services and files hosted by the services are much more widely accessible. It is only logical that organizations would target these major freely accessible services--seen as major threats--first, and attack them without mercy. Is this probable cause to use underhanded tactics? I wouldn't say so; however, business is about profit, and, in their eyes, any threat to their income should be eliminated.
other theories suggest that while travling back in time is possible, that should you do so, you wouldn't travel straight back. In other words, you would end up in a parallel universe. This is supposedly a safeguard put into place by nature itself to prevent you from screwing up the entire timeline.

Any person whose invention can create an entire culture of computer nerds is good in my book.
That would be interesting; the science channel would have a field day with this stuff. :)
