FileServe is officially dead now as well

[Paarish]

It's almost 100%, at least the main story.

And how different is BBS Final Mix from the US or EU BBS? I know there's some features in those that the original Japanese release didn't have, but looking for differences between an English BBS and BBS FM it doesn't seem that amazing an update.

The rhythm mixer command style was good. Also it's pretty fun to fight the two new secret bosses...
that's about it.

if mediafire goes down is all over

Oh man, I'd be fucked. My source for DDL anime uses them, megaupload, and rapidshit. Every series has a mediafire and a megaupload mirror, but not all of them have a rapidshare mirror. About a third of the site'd be obliterated if mediafire died.

That's basically it.

Anyway, back on topic. What other filehosting sites have gone on the deep end?

 

[JakePsycho]

I see how people are worried:
How we solve this?
Simple: we share accounts instead of files. That way, anyone can get files.

However, on most file-sharing sites, you get banned for using multiple IP adresses on the account.

4shared: Mass deletion
FileJungle (Owned by FileServe): Deleting multiple files. Testing out blocking some USA IP addresses

I come home from a great day at work to find this.... Officially there goes all of my speedy pr0nz links. At least Rapidshare is standing tall for now.

well this just can't get any worse can it?
where the hell am I going to get my stuff now?

This is why I'm glad I live in Canada; sure it's still illegal to download anything copyrighted other than music, but the RCMP doesn't really give a damn. It doesn't seem to matter whether they pass a law here or not, their basic stance is "We can't police the internet and it would be a waste of tax-payer money to try to". If it weren't for piracy, I can GUARANTEE I wouldn't have purchased even half of the movies or games I have. I'm not one to spend $70 on something when I'm not even sure if I'm going to like it; especially since EB wont refund me on the "It fucking sucked" principle.

Well, in France, they can block your internet connection because of warez peer to peer download, see HADOPI.
They are watching emule and torrent websites.

Is it safe to say the lobbyists won this round?

 

[nando]

we need to stage media boycotts. no going to the movies, no buying games, no buying dvds, no buying music... just live shows.

 

[RchUncleSkeleton]

That does it, I will never again pay to go to a movie in the theater nor will I buy a DVD or Bluray Disc, I will also never buy another piece of music controlled by a major record label. Indie artists and films only please, I say we all boycott all the major film and record companies.

They take our privacy and freedome and we take their money, huh? Sounds good to me(Im quite sure they will suffer a giant loss if we all, temp at least, would stop buying thing from big companies)

 

[jalaneme]

this is seriously messed up man, really messed up, only 2 file hosting sites left!

 

[ThePowerOutage]

Wait, what?
This situation just shows the cowardliness of file hosts.
It's the oldest trick in the book - take down the big dog, and the rest will scatter.
The only legal action is that against MegaUpload, the rest are just trying to cover their backsides.
And "Only 2 file hosting sites left!"? Seriously? Their are a plethora of filehosts out there. This is similar to what happened with (Citrus)Wire - everyone went crazy taking down their files until (Cold)Wire came and replaced it.
TL;DR: Move along, nothing to see apart from the aftermath of the FBI clearly showing the world that corporations make the world go round

They should be scared. I don't blame them, who the hell wants to be fined?

 

[stanleyopar2000]

Oh shit. All of my .psd's are uploaded to mediafire, and I get money from it. If mediafire gets down, that means I will lose all of my in-come D:

Thanks a lot, United States of America™.
