What all it takes to make a site like Rapidshare ????

Sell your house, all your property, your valuables, provident funds, car, sell your business and then you just invest with the big guys and voila you get a return money with double of the amount you invested in 1 year.

What I would love is a host that actually allows warez hosting. Right there, plain and open. Have servers in HK (or any DC that allow warez hosting) with decent speeds that allow warez hosting and offer no removal.

And yeah, all that is needed is lots of money.

that will never happen no matter where in the world you are. when you get big enough and get the lawyers and the copyright industries on your ass and the data center doesn't comply they will cut the transits to that data center. and guess what, the datacenter will bow down and cancel the servers. you can only hide so for long..

customer > middle man > data center > transit provider.
