Damn, i'd be really pissed if i woned rapidshare right now.. serious. how can the court honestly rule in favour of the GEMA. RS have policies that no illegal content to be uploaded, and they delete them reguarly. just fuck they are'nt supermen.. GOVT are really gay, they get profit out of all this (tax)

We wouldnt buy the movies anyway so no there not If a films good, ill watch it at the cinema.

They want money, we want things to do.

I forsee a dark future for warez ; mainly coz of the global financial crises; companies don't wanna lose even a single peeny via warez.

Sooner all hosts in the world will become onshore and they would disallow any kind of warez
