GEMA obtains injunctions against data exchange services

The German collecting society GEMA has obtained from the District Court in Cologne temporary injunctions against the operator of the data exchange services www.rapidshare.de and www.rapidshare.com. The latter is said to have used copyright protected works of GEMA members in an unlawful fashion. The services make virtual storage space available into which users can upload content that is thereby made publicly available to other users. GEMA spokesman Hans-Herwig Geyer told heise online that the services should not be allowed to continue to operate in their present form. The collecting society is now demanding that the operator provide details on how many copyright protected works of GEMA members are currently stored on the said sites.

According to GEMA, the service www.rapidshare.de in particular has at times boasted of making some 15 million files available to its users. The operator had however failed to obtain from GEMA a license for making copyright protected files available, the collecting society spokesman observed. To date RapidShare had claimed not to have any knowledge of the content uploaded by the users and of not being in a position to control the same, the spokesman continued. Through its injunctions the District Court in Cologne had now however made it clear to the company that the fact that it was the users and not the operator of the services that uploaded the content onto the sites did not, from a legal point of view, lessen the operator's liability for copyright infringements that occurred within the context of the services, the spokesman added.

Harald Heker, the chairman of the executive board of GEMA, believes the court's decisions will have repercussions on the way "Web 2.0 services" such as YouTube and MySpace will be treated in future. What the decisions according to Mr. Heker show is that "the mere circumstance of shifting acts of use to users and the purported inability of the operator to control content do not relieve the operator of a service from the copyright liability he/she/it possesses for the content made available for download from the operator's website(s)."

i used to user rapget to download files from rapidshare without the hassle of wiating an hour for another download and key-in the codes.
lately it's not working, and i have to download the files via website a.k.a the normal way.


i think this prevents rapget to work, as rapget has autobot to key-in the codes.

one more thing, sendspace is not that reliable anymore.
if you're keeping illegal files, which violate their T&C, they will delete your files in a jiffy.
you still have to keep your account though.
i've lost about 5GB of files last time, they delete everything without notice.

rapidshare is great because they keep you files like forever while other file-hostings would let you keep you files for 2 months at the most.

sendspace would keep your files for a long long time even though you have free accounts, in condition that you let your files being download by other users.

i've been considering to get a rapidshare premium account.
but how to pay ah other than use paypal or cc?
i have a maybank account though.
i've been using A LOT of rapidshare to download tv shows
