    They won't lock the users up. It will cost too much $$$. It is likely users will be slap with some outrageous fine. Its all about $$$.

    there is no law in Canada for downloads, only uploading copyrighted content is illegal, that law was from 1984 from the UK i believe, we have a similar law system with HK because UK once owned HK and Canada...

    Same in Holland, downloading is legal, but a lot of people here have uploaded some Asian dramas/movies which I suppose is illegal. Then again, will the RIAA/MPAA really care about those uploads ???

    Fileserve has dropped their affiliate a few days ago but now they are banning users accounts. I got this message.

    “Unsuccessful login
    Your account has been disabled due to violations of our Terms and Conditions.”

    Lucky I didn't renew it but still got like 2 months worth of premium on it. Funny thing is that many of my links still works...-_-2

    Filejungle and uploadstation have the same owner as fileserve so if you have an account there, you should becareful, some people are deleting files already so they don't get ban. I'm also hearing a lot of folks saying uploadstation and FJ hadn't pay them as well and they might do the same thing like fileserve. Just giving you guys a heads up.

    In their eyes users that upload/download copyrighted material are criminals. They don't care if millions go broke. The fact is the law was violated and let the punishment fit the crime.

    Filesonic has stopped their affiliate program too, so it's going to suck even more. It's going to be hard times for everyone. Fewer people uploading, can't trust any filehost sites now.
