But for public stuff, I'd have to use one of the many file sharing sites. They probably shut it down as it was also a MAJOR site used to deliver black market movies. Probably a few others on the same chopping block. |
There needs to be a way which allows for people who have legitimate reason to share files, to be able to do so in a public place. The problem lies in the fact that these services are too often abused by those wanting to flaunt copyright laws. Google are doing quite a good job with Youtube, but they've been able to develop algorithms which can pick up content which is copyright. There needs to be a way to do this with file downloads... but it is probably impossible due to how easy it is to hide the contents of a file.
