This is a tempest in a teapot just like those mass "Quit Facebook" protests that spring up every time the privacy settings change. The entire controversy exists because a tiny, yet incredibly vocal, minority makes a huge deal of it only to drop it the next week. And from reading write ups on freemium services, the vocal minority is also part of the non-paying majority.
Dropbox has a technically exploitable feature which they don't want passed around for file sharing purposes so they stopped their own servers from helping. Big whoop.

- cmatthias 16y agoNo, that's the problem... they haven't stopped their own servers from helping at all, because anyone with the hash can still access the file, which is the whole basis of how Dropship works. If Dropbox doesn't want Dropship to work, I think they should spend time actually updating their code to remove this exposure, rather than trying to get the code erased from the internet.
