Hey “pissed off”,

Take a chill pill. Why don’t you start putting 10 good songs on your album and guarantee my money back if I’m not satisfied within 30 days. I’ll gladly go and buy your album. Until that happens I’ll download and listen and if I like it, I’ll go and actually buy a legal copy.

Memory storage is going to be ridiculously enormous in a few years. Here’s what will happen:

You will be able to get terabytes of storage in a box the size of a deck of playing cards within 10 years. When that happens people are going to PHYSICALLY TRADE movies music warez etc. Colleges will see this happen FAST. Sure it is much slower than using the Internet but cops would need probable cause to seize such an object. Face facts the RIAA MPAA business model is dead. No Internet? No problem physical trading will occur. People will visit friends in other cities other countries etc. and trade.

This is stupid. Rapidshare.com is registered in switzerland. How can a german court has an effect on a company wich not even locatedin the european union? I hope they just mean Rapidshare.DE . If the GEMA gets crazy the million of Filehosters located in germany will use servers in other countrys like dubai or china…stuff like that.

rapid share is just a vulnerable as youtube is…they host the people’s content so it will be there for as long as they aren’t forced to take it down. I’m not even sure it will matter where it hosted any more as long as it’s accessible buy the country the content was created in they will kept making demands some will get through like this one did… = (
