The fall and fall and the current status of file-share services
As everyone knows, there was a great panic among the file-sharing services. It all started with the closing of Megaupload and imprisonment of their owners. The Megaupload is a leading services and the largest in the U.S. market, but at the same time behaved quite arrogant, entering a contest on who had the most virile member. But without much sense of the size of the phallus itself. No wonder he became the first victim. And then they opened the doors of the kennel, I am sure that cachorrada angry will not stop until all other hunting services.
Now we have the following situation:
Megaupload.com - Closed
Fileserve.com - Affiliate Program has been closed. Deleting files. Ban Accounts.
Filejungle.com (owned by Fileserve) - Affiliate program was closed. Deleting files. Ban accounts.
Uploadstation.com (owned by Fileserve) - Affiliate program was closed. Deleting files. Ban accounts.
VideoBB.com - Affiliate Program has been closed.
Videozer.com - Affiliate Program has been closed.
Crocko.com - Affiliate Program has been closed.
Filesonic.com - Affiliate Program has been closed. Deleting multiple files. Ban accounts.
Filepost.com - Affiliate Program has been closed. Ban accounts.
Uploading.com - Affiliate Program has been closed.
Oron.com - Affiliate Program has been closed. Deleting files. Ban accounts.
Although some are still active, the more likely it is that soon they will begin to ban accounts and delete files. Meanwhile, one can use the services which are not well defined as:
Uploaded - No longer available in the U.S. (U.S. IP address banned)
Depositfiles
Hitfile
Freakshare
Letitbit
Unibytes
Vip-file
Turbobit
The Rapidshare, good old friend of the former ambassadors, and one of, if not the oldest of the services, was also the pioneer to suffer with the first anti-bullying forms of file-sharing there back in 2007. It was also the first to give one invented in his scheme and compare with uploads database of prohibited content to continue in the air. It is the most resilient, but tai, openly bluffing all-in-order this game is that you lose everything. Do not know whether it is the next to fall, but the way you think track unknowingly to the exit is undoubtedly the ladder to the scaffold.
Anyway, I can say that we are now watching and / or living through the end of the (brief) era of the download-servers-file-sharing services, but this is and always will be the modus operandi of sharing versus control network content, the game cat and mouse, slapping a hole here and two new spontaneously arising over there. It only remains to wait to know what they are and how to pass the next generation of holes in the fence.
