News: RapidShare Declared Legal In Court, With a Twist

 

Ever since MegaUpload was shut down and taken over by the Feds, other hosting sites have become much more wary and careful. Fileserve now only allows the owner of the files to download his or her uploaded files, other users cannot download the said file. Other sites have gotten more strict in a similar way, working harder to remove links that infringe on the copyright law.

So when RapidShare was involved in a legal dispute against a music rights group called GEMA, people looked on with caution. Now, the court has produced a verdict, they have explicitly recognized that RapidShare’s business model is legal. It’s not all good for RapidShare though, as the company now has to monitor external websites for incoming links to infringing files.
