Our attitude towards reward programmes

2011.02.11 Some users have asked us why we have abandoned our reward programme. With the RapidPoints programme that we used to run we wanted to give those users small thank-you gifts for recommending our service by sending files to others. Unfortunately, this programme was discredited when more and more suppliers of online storage space tried to outgun each other by offering more and more absurd reward programmes. Some providers even offer their users up to 10,000 US Dollars for the upload of popular files – this can hardly be considered a thank-you gift for promoting their service. As our reward programme was nevertheless lumped together with such dubious programmes, we decided to stop the programme in June 2010.
We are convinced that with increasing legal pressure all file hosting services will have to refrain from their reward programmes if they seem to be designed to entice users to illegally upload copyrighted files. This is being stressed by the current lawsuits against Hotfile and Megaupload. These lawsuits are explicitly based on the allegation that the two companies actively promote the upload of copyrighted works through their reward programmes.

We will not risk that our service is being blocked or even shut down and thus jeopardize the security and availability of our customers’ files just because of some points programme. Therefore, RapidShare will never offer such reward programme again.
However, we currently work on an alternative model to reward customers who recommend our service and win new customers for us – a model that can’t be attacked or lumped together with the programmes of unreliable file hosting services.
