Uh oh.

[quote]Be careful with what you upload today. It might cost you a lot of money if the German courts find out.

As both The Daily Swarm and Idolator report, a Cologne judge has found file-sharing site Rapidshare guilty of infringement of copyright laws and responsible for damages totalling $34 million, payable to GEMA, Germany's music collection agency (akin to North America's RIAA).

According to the ruling, Rapidshare's servers illegally host copyrighted material and it is being shared without consent or financial recoup on the part of GEMA. The German organization brought the suit against Rapidshare, citing 5,000 protected music titles that are posted on the site. The ruling also finds that Rapidshare bear principle responsibility for ensuring copyright-protected material is not illegally posted on their servers.

A declaration issued by GEMA states, “The judgment states that the hosting service itself is now responsible for making sure that none of the music tracks concerned are distributed via its platform in the future. This means that the copyright holder is no longer required to perform the ongoing and complex checks.

The judgment of the Regional Court of Hamburg marks a milestone in GEMA’s efforts to combat the illegal use of music works on the Internet. GEMA will continue to do everything it can to shield its members from online piracy. We are confident that in this way we will be able to reduce the illegal use of the GEMA repertoire on the Internet to a negligible level.â€

I love the stability of Mediafire, I don't think it's ever been a pain like ol' yousendit and sendspace however but part of the drawback with them is the limits on upload size. I think I'm gonna start using HJsplit to break up big files now.

Added the app. I've generally avoided Megaupload because of all the extraneous garbage on that site; perhaps I'll retry.
