Guess it was only a matter of time before this happened. Piracy will not go down.
Or someone else will come and take it's place.

Isn't one.

Rapidshare is perhaps one of the most used services on the internet, barring social networking and webmail and search engines.

813375 2009-09-24 09:48:00 I don't understand how people can gladly use Rapidshare for their P2P needs, even a free premium account couldn't convince me. sal (67)
813376 2009-09-25 00:39:00 I even read a author had linked to his own pirated pdf copies (which were linked from twitter), on Rapidshare. This was to help convince potential readers to purchase the actual book, as he was annoyed others were getting pirated copies via Rapidshare. kahawai chaser (3545)
