I just checked Filesmonster, Oron and Crocko. Business as usual.

Not sure why the porn webmaster told me Oron would be closed down anytime now.

I guess we have to go back to Torrent, Emule or Rayfile (Chinese). Remember to fully encrypt all your hard drives also.

And "why" exactly do we need to encrypt our hard drives? Do you build bombs or have a collection of c***porn? Seriously...just wondering...it's over the top and fear mongering, IMO.

I have sensitive work material on my computers. This would include social security numbers as well as other personal information of many people.
This is why I encrypt my hard drive.

Likewise

I wonder if and when Rapidshare gets killed, that's the biggest and most used One Click Hoster.

All the crying from the pirates is funny though und then they start blabbering about 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 because they think stealing media is their god-given right Idiots...

If you are serious I pity you, however I suppose you're trolling.

Update:
Uploaded.to still going strong.

Its servers located in Hong Kong. Non-US users are sticking to it.

I just wanted to post about how annoying all this is. It's no different from what anyone else has posted ... but at work we use services like this to share large files.

This is going to cause huge numbers of problems for us! How does one of these services know the difference between my work, and uploading of illegal content? Furthermore, why does anyone think this is going to solve anything? I'm dead against piracy, but this is just something I don't understand.

Can anyone actually explain how this makes sense?

Edit: Okay, I've read some of Zorgon's posts, and yes there are numbers of people that are just wondering where their pirated stuff is going to come from next. It still doesn't make me any less dissappointed. The business model has unfortunately rewarded these sites for hosting pirated content and they've profited from it, which is all kinds of awkward.

Crazy world.

Update:

Oron, Uploaded and Multishare surviving well.
