Filesonic is down for the count, cyberlockers falling left and right

Even legal files are inaccessible. What a crock..

the start of the cyber worldwar I... that puts the free world up against the us gov. and their associated greedy CEO's and board members of entertainment groups that motivates/directs the us gov.--there will be a lot of collateral damage... much more than presently being claimed as losses by the entertainment comp. and special interest groups--battles will be won by the gov. but the war in the end, ....by the people and free world....the overall result, no net gain

That's a shame. I often used Filesonic. This is why I always knew the life time membership was for suckers. I only join these site 1-2 months at a time here and there.

I'm sure they are not going to refund those who subscribed to unlimited download either. I assume they will be gone altogether before long since they no longer have any reason to exist. You can store info at many cloud places for free.

Fileserve has gone to cloud storage only also. Bummer. Wonder if any of the others are worth buying into...a month at a time though!

Investigate Chris Dodd and the MPAA for bribery after he publicly admited to bribing politicans to pass legislation.

Recently on FOX News former Senator Chris Dodd said (as quoted on news site TechDirt), "Those who count on quote 'Hollywood' for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who's going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don't ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don't pay any attention to me when my job is at stake," This is an open admission of bribery and a threat designed to provoke a specific policy goal. This is a brazen flouting of the "above the law" status people of Dodd's position and wealth enjoy.

We demand justice. Investigate this blatant bribery and indict every person, especially government officials and lawmakers, who is involved.

I got one message.....HOST YOUR SERVERS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY THAT CARES LESS ABOUT US.

This is all now starting to get real interesting... And here I've been ranting about the "cloud" BS & that whole operation as being a pretty shite option for backing up anything.

If this sudden 'legalized' implosion by the DoJ isn't a clear indication of my "the light going out" then I don't know what is. I personally wouldn't put my data on anything I couldn't tangibly put my hands on. Seeing as the good ol' US of F*d-up A seems to extradite from just about anywhere under the auspices of copyright infringement, sticking your data in another country doesn't cut it anymore.

It's a huge class war out there despite what some may think. As the economy starts to get bleaker, the richer will start to lose their grip on both the poorer & reality and as such, will turn our society more & more into a police state; seeing as they too own/pay for our 'protection'.

As you may also see, whose protection & protection of what almost certainly becomes a debate of semantics. Consider this retribution or a swinging of the pendulum for the public's voice on SOPA/PIPA folks.

Now what do we have to say in reply?

I guess I should take down my xmas vids of my kids, that accidentally happened to have Transformers on my TV in the background before, Hasbro sues me for not asking permission to turn on my TV first.

Cyberlockers are dead
Usenet?

LMAO both; it's true I have uploaded my kids xmas day so that their grandpa could see it. And it's true I did not ask Hasbro permission, nor did I edit or black out Transformers on the TV. But i have heard of a case in Chicago last year where a woman was getting sued over having a clipping of a movie at a party she had in a theater, claiming piracy. It didn't pan out obviously but yea... In case that crap happens again, I removed my uploads.

My only wish was that I had removed all my uploads on MU before it was taken down. No telling now if the US gov't will turn around and cease credit card information of would be "pirates" and start pressing individual charges.

However I always said if they wanted to stop this issue, it's best done at the source, so here's to hoping they are satisfied with their current greed. Not likely, but hope anyways.

Incorrect! you are not safe on any torrent whether public or private,it's the nature of the beast,the sniffer software that's used knows where you live,chanting "the power of christ compells you" won't save you..seriously tho my first few words stands,every torrent can be tracked by them don't kid yourself into thinking otherwise,my source is from interviews on tv & talk back radio with persons in the industry directly related to piracy & illegal up & downloading.As for limewire/frostwire it allows persons anywhere to explore your sharing folder if you haven't set it so that can't be done,haven't you seen the explore button when downloading with it,it's there to explore the uploaders files,very freaky i've used it a few times a few years back before dumping it for utorent

My cerebellum fused just slightly... You might want to expand on your question just a bit... or are you making a rhetorical statement that the US is getting into the business of other countries again?

Just to blather slightly, I'm figuring there's a whole new ball game being played with copyright laws here in the US that even 'we' don't know about & we're stretching our wings with it.

That is my pure & total, unbridled guess to it at this moment.

How could this even happen so much control so much power to destroy freedom so easily in the hands of the u.s. government absolute power corrupts absolutely

Because as yet there is no policy in place in the U.S that makes all contributions go through a separate entity,that then distributes the money to who it was intended for,thereby making the recipients ignorant of who's paying what & that's exactly how it should be,instead it appears the U.S Gov is run by corp's & politicians are there to do their bidding,somethings seriously wrong regardless,corruption to me is an understatement in their case

Yeah, but Russia is a borderline an enemy of the US. They certainly don't care about US copyright law. There's no extradition treaties with the US. Someone could be wanted for murder in the US, and if they were in Russia the US could not touch them.

I don't know man. I tried to 'get some items' there the other day and everyone I found was inaccessible in one form or another. My files were okay, but I couldn't get anyone else's. :(

Rapidshare (German then Swiss owned?) went through this a little over a year ago and WON in a German court case, they just were forced to remove the "rewards" program where they paid you per x amount of money per files downloaded, or they offered to, not sure about that, which is what these latest one's, including filesonic, were doing. That seems to be biggest concern, people actually profiting from these downloads of their kids pix etc. I also was advised to stay away from any "cyberlocker" or hosts, that have a .com address, as that may indicate US-based. Turbobit.net still alive and well as is depositfiles. Filesonic owned by somebody from Hong Kong, I think they, and Fileserve, also overseas owned just saw a chance to keep everybody's money and took it. One-time windfall but apparently worth it to them. At least Rapidshare didnt take the money and run, still same as it ever was except for paying out. Read they even give out "rapids" which are used to buy time at Germany's version of mini-marts. So if you just want to share files with friends, rapidshare has gone through a court case and is a safe bet, and they've been around for years. If you're looking to get your money back, don't go there.
