So... when are the Feds going to shutdown Dropbox? More or less the same thing.

  Afaik Dropbox stops the sharing of file once it goes beyong a given (relatively limited) bandwidth. Not making it legal, but making it pretty much impossible to use it as a "file share" on sharing forums.

    That's also a very bad idea. What if I just happen to be very popular and I want to distribute my data to a large group of people. Does github close down projects which got too many clone requests?

    Share a Folder containing magnet hash files. All of The Pirate Bay hash files is ~90MB. At least until someone incorporates the data into the blockchain.

  Dropbox is a pay-to-upload business model but cyberlockers use a pay-to-download business model (they used to pay referral fees to uploaders, but this was so obviously shady that everybody is dropping it). The judge in the Hotfile case ruled that Hotfile had vicarious liability for copyright infringement because they profited more from distributing more popular content.
