[tmk]

Not sure..As these companies do maintain a certain records for a certain time at least.

 

[NightMare]

well , not big deal for me
i used to earn 10$ per day , so its impossible that i'm in top 500

All this sounds pretty bad to me. I mean, if court can request IPs from Hotfile, they can request IPs from warez-bb also :S

And they should be able to do it easier, because no one can't see username of a guy who uploaded some app to Hotfile, but they can easily see that the "Uploader123" posted their copyrighted app on wbb and base their request on that.

It is strange to me that Hollywood started battle with Hotfile instead with largest warez portals and forums...

Warez-bb's privacy policy states that they dont store IP addresses of users, so a court cant make them give out IPs as they dont have them.

Besides, WBB is located in hong kong. They are outside the jurisdiction of a us court.

I wonder how many users from WJ were in the TOP 500

I am not a top 500 on hotfile at all because I did not use them in the past. However I am kind of worried that they would go after filesonic.com, wupload, or fileserve. This is kind of scary.
I am kind of scared, and I think I am going to shut down all my filehost accounts before MPAA decided who they are going to sue next..

CHILL OUT jason.. have fun man.. no muthafaka is going to get on all at one time.. it will take an year or so for mpaa to attack others if they would do so..

[tmk]

If they sue Filesonic It'll be easy to find Elites and SuperElites:d

What is the alternatives after torrent/filehosts/ftp in future?

 

[Gonzo1136]

Warez and file sharing won't die.

They have been going after drugs producers/pushers/dealers for decades, and that's why we are living in drug free societies today?

If the demand is there, the supply will always find its way to meet it, no matter what obstacle you put in to stop it. Unless everything become FOC, there will be warez.
