[..] we need something that secures our files for as long as we pay. MU is a little shit and the authorities are forever trying to shut down piratebay so it's a nono (it's only a tracker so wouldn't work anyway). I'm optomistic that RS will pull through

German court decided that Rapidshare should check every upload to see if it's legal or illegal before it's online. If this decision is the final decision Rapidshare probably will shutdown, because a company like that can't survive. [..] If Rapidshare quits, U2start is also in big trouble since all our videos and all our bootlegs are online at Rapidshare (a few dozen bootlegs are already on Mediafire, but that's not enough). Therefore, we ask you this: - If you have a high speed connection (or live in a country where Mediafire upload is fast), you can help us by uploading bootlegs which still aren't available on Mediafire to Mediafire. - There is a chance that all bootlegs will be inavailable in a matter of time, reuploading can be done, but even we don't have all available bootlegs and sources on our PCs. If you like a complete collection, try downloading the sources and things you don't have so you can help reuploading if the time is there. Let's hope Rapidshare will continue the way it does, but it doesn't look good.

I wouldn't be too worried by now. That sentence is 3 months old and nothing happened yet. I don't expect any changes for the rest of the year. Also, if you read the latest news on rapidshare.com, that doesn't read like they're planning to close in the near future. Plenty of time to think about an alternative/keeping things as they are right now.

RapidShare Will not Control Uploads CHAM, Switzerland, October 27, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Over and over again, RapidShare has been requested to pre-emptively control content. The company has stated several times already, that in Germany today this task is impossible to accomplish, for technical as well as juridical reasons. First, neither technical filters nor members of the abuse team can foresee the intended purpose of use of a file when it is uploaded, and can therefore not distinguish a legally permitted copy, e.g. a private copy as defined in German copyright law, paragraph 53, from an illegal distribution pre-emptively. Secondly, files can be uploaded in password encrypted archives with the consequence that monitoring digital fingerprints of copyrighted files is not effective. "160 million files have already been uploaded to RapidShare. A number that proves that the world depends on moving important data from A to B," says Bobby Chang, COO of RapidShare AG. "We have established the first technology worldwide that made sending big files this easy, this fast and this secure. Millions of people use it every day. As with any new technology the result does not please everyone and they call for control. Our point of view regarding this is clear: We are against monitoring uploads and stand for data privacy. There will be no control of uploads at RapidShare. At the same time we stand up against the illegal distribution of copyrighted files and will proceed to do everything we can to prevent that, except for monitoring uploads. By the way, the latter would not make sense in Germany anyway, because of the legitimacy of private copies."
