The founders of the infamous torrent tracker The Pirate Bay have announced the launch of their own legal cyberlocker, called BayFiles.
The service, like rivals, allows users to upload files and share them online.
BayFiles is also registered as a DMCA agent, meaning they will take down all files that are flagged as unauthorized due to copyright infringement and bans multiple-time offenders.
In the future, the company hopes to expand BayFiles into a "feature-rich" cloud service, a la Dropbox. Just like new services from Amazon, Google and Apple, the platform will allow you to upload your music and stream it from a phone (or from anywhere) as long as you have Internet access.
The service is free to sign up, and free members can upload files up to 500MB.
Premium members (at $7 a month or $63 a year) can upload 5GB files with unlimited storage.
