File hosting service Rapidshare has been fined €24m by a German court and ordered to filter online content more effectively.

    GOOD! Im sick of seeing company's like rapidshare making money from pirated material. Its companies like this media agencies should go after, not the user like they do with p2p.

    Great! Fuk rapidshare. The greatest uploaders use several sites like rapidshare, hotfile, megaupload, netload with interchangeable links so you can download multiple parts at the same time for FREEEEEEEEEEE! All other uploaders are lamers and can kiss my azz!
