Rapidshare Fined $34 Million and Ordered to Filter Content
By enigmax on rapidshare
Collections society GEMA claims to represent more than 60,000 composers, authors and music publishers worldwide, protecting their copyrights. After a request by the group, The Regional Court in Hamburg has ruled that hosting service Rapidshare is forbidden from making any of 5,000 music tracks from GEMA’s collection available on the Internet.
Rapidshare was also ordered to delete any and all of those same tracks from its servers and ensure that they are not uploaded again by users. Previously Rapidshare had been using file hashes to recognize tracks that were already removed after requests from GEMA, to ensure that they weren’t uploaded again. The court decided that the technique used was ineffective.
The court found Rapidshare guilty of breaches of copyright law and ordered it to pay damages of €24 million ($34 million).
“The decision of the Hamburg Regional Court is a milestone in GEMA’s fight against the illegal use of musical works on the Internet,” said Dr. Harald Heker, Chief Executive Officer of GEMA. “We are confident that in this way we will be able to reduce the illegal use of the GEMA repertoire on the Internet to a negligible level,” he added.
Understandably, Rapidshare sought to downplay the ruling. Bobby Chang, COO of RapidShare, Switzerland, said: “We do not consider the court’s decision to be a breakthrough. As other proceedings in similar disputes with GEMA have shown, there is considerable disparity amongst the individual courts in some cases.”
Noting that the courts of appeal “tend to restrict the scope of the decisions made by the lower courts,” Chang said it would make more sense to offer music fans the right products and services at the right price to “open up a new source of income for music-markets on the Internet.”

Prije sam skidala preko RS-a, sad ga ignoriram, i skidam sve preko Megauploada, ili drugih uploading sajtova, kojih, thank the Gods, ima i previše

Ja još uvik produljujem premium account, čisto zbog warezhr-a. Sve je više megaupload, depositfiles, sharingmatrix, easyshare i milijun drugih linkova. Ipak, rs mi je i dalje najdraži, za free usere kužin da je megaupload ludilo (tako je bilo i meni prije stvaranja ra accounta).
I think human consciousness, is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself, we are creatures that should not exist by natural law.

Rapidshare je legenda. Posebno ako kradeš account . 
...I wrapped our love in all this foil,
Silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil,
But flies will lay their eggs...

Re: Rapidshare problemi?
Ma meni je Rapidshare super, jest da se mora čekati po 15 minuta za svaki link (free user), no u redu je, prije sam imao problema jer bi me stalno znalo izbaciti i reći da su zauzete linije, no na svu sreću toga više nemam. Malo malo pa znam čak i preko jednog lika da nabavim premium account, no to ako sam baš u điru za skidanje dosta toga što me zanima. Megaupload mi je isto cool. Preko torrenta najviše skidam, no ako nešto baš žarko želim, a nema na torrentima onda preko rapidsharea nađem i skinem (ako naravno ga ima tamo).
But, you know, I knew something must be rotten in Denmark. There was no way you could like me that much. Man, I can't tell you how relieved I was when you took off your dress, you... you didn't have a dick.

Megaupload rulz! 
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Ma da, uopće nije skup, baš se za male pare može naći što je više nego super kad je čovjek u điru za non-stop skidanje!
