What ultimately took all these file hosts down is greed... They make so much money from ad's and selling premium packages, and the uploaders sharing file are paid whenever someone downloads their file... So once that gets out of hand and too wide spread then sure enough it's all gonna fall apart because they are never content, they keep going for more by advertising their services etc. Now the services probably weren't created for what they ended up being used for, or maybe they were but disguised as a personal storage locker... who knows... But when you start paying people whenever someone downloads you file you have to think there's some ulterior motives going on.

The group that brought down all those record company websites and the gov't websites last week is targeting Facebook on Jan 28th to take it down... Doubt it will happen world wide, might cause problems in different regions...

Interesting times we live in!

I agree on the greed factor.If something does come in months with the protesting.The only people with get hurt is the little people that work for the industry.The big corp head honcho people wont be worried right away.One thing Hollywood will never do.Spread the wealth.It kills me when I read the trades like Variety ,Billboard film gross sections.Six to seven figure grosses in a week.Now the people that had stored their personal files on these sites are in limbo.Photos,Home videos and legit stuff might be gone for good.The little people in the music biz get sqat too.I know some too.

Hahaha.Heres a friendly reminder.A early 1990's PSA about antipirating software.






They probably need to update by saying "Don't Copy That Floppy to "Don't Copy That Memory Flash Drive".
