Well if you think that, then all the hotels & restaurants copy each other if they provide the same menu (with different price tag, though) ?

But many of the points were right. RapidShare did introduce the points systems and the uploaders used to convert the 10k points to 1 month premium and sell it for 3-4$ on forums. So it was like the same thing, they upload, they earn money, but just in a different fashion.

Other than that, everything comes to a same point.
