    RapidShare Attorney: If We're Shut Down Like Megaupload, Then YouTube, Dropbox, Apple's iCloud Are Next

    [Q] The RIAA and Congressional members of the International Anti-piracy Caucus have claimed that RapidShare was "overwhelmingly used for the global exchange of illegal movies, music and other copyrighted works."

    [A] Why did you read the 2010 report, and not the 2011 one? Because they didn't repeat that after we explained ourselves to them. In last year's publication we were not listed anymore.

    [Q] How did you change their opinion?

    [A] We thought that they were probably wrongly educated, and we didn't know where these quotes were coming from. So we went to Washington, hired a lobbying firm, and explained it to them, and asked, "Hey, why do you think that about us?" We never really got a lot of answers out of them. "Well, we took a lot of factors into consideration. It's so complex that we can't really describe it to you," they said. This wasn't really a good explanation to us. Fortunately, the next report didn't list our name anymore.
    How does anybody take these guys seriously anymore? They've been making up 'facts' for years. And a legitimate company needs to hire a lobbying firm to question them, and then when they get caught in a lie it's just quietly adjusted in the next report. If RapidShare didn't have the money or power to make their own argument the false information would just stay out there.
    Why should I have to WORK for everything?! It's like saying I don't deserve it!

    I would love them to try and shut down YouTube - it would finally put an end to this awful practice, because the uproar would be loud and clear.
