So you have no doubt heard about the insanity surrounding the shutting down of MegaUpload, particularly the absolutely wild story about how the file-sharing website's founder was arrested. Well, this has all clearly freaked out other file-sharing services online, including FileSonic. If you go to its homepage, you're greeted by a message that reads that "All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally." Not only that, but Uploaded.to is no longer available for use in the U.S. 

Wow. Do you think anyone else will fold in light of the ongoing witch hunt? And could a major player like Mediafire go under?

Wow... just wow... This has gone way too far now.

*Picks up shotgun*

I'm heading to the Mediafire headquarters. Brb.

if media fire goes that will be a huge blow..
but.. with no one else doing it, it opens up the market for someone else too

Damn. I was using FileSonic to pick up something specific, too (although i am in Japan, i suppose, so maybe i still have access to it for the moment)

You have just provided me with an excellent idea XD

OT:

This has gone a bit far to be honest.

iieew... I would hate if I would need to go back to torrents... I better check if my demonoid account still works...

*Throws two handguns*

So, you coming with me? >:)

Let me just get the Jeep with the turret on the back.

This is getting ridiculous now. WTF?!

i use these sites as much as the next guy, but whats the problem people really have with these going down? sure it makes it inconvenient for people like me to get stuff but its not like these sites were in the right
