Although FileSonic has disabled sharing and Uploaded.to has blocked access to the U.S., the CEO of Texas-based MediaFire is not concerned about government action against his company. 'We don't have a business built on copyright infringement,' says Derek Labian. 'Like many other cloud-based sharing services like Box.net and Dropbox, we're a legitimate business targeting professionals.

Mediafire is just awesome ! Alot of Legal stuff is stored there and the greatest thing is it offers same download speed for free users as it offers to premium members and it never forced any one to buy its premium by adding download restrictions or waiting time !

Mediafire all the way =)
 
I think the 'get paid for download' days are over. There will be many new sites spring up - talk big - then take your registration money and when you least expect it...their door is slammed and locked.. up. So beware and don't jump too fast. It will take a long time and when the sites (just a few come will come back) they will be paying in point reward fashion like Rapidshare did but still got busted. But there are ways around the reward systems...but none for the pay $$ for so many downloads. Those are long gone. All this crazy crap happened just since 2007 when Rapidshare first showed on the scene. Before NO $$ were paid. We put up softs and a few Mp3's. Not many movies around until RS. All before on the usenet binaries.

The $$ stuff was good for some of you while it lasted...but now R.I.P. It is all over.
 
I think the feds are going to leave Mediafire and the other hosts alone. What they did with Megaupload might just be to scare the other hosts and keep them on their guard, and it's working (hint: Filesonic and Uploaded.to).

Even if such a crackdown occurs Mediafire would be the last host they would think of targeting as it's much less used, comparatively. And even if people use it for hosting warez, there must be an equal number of people who use it for legal purposes.
