Rapidshare is actually taking advantage (legally) of the DMCA act which holds service providers 'harmless' from the illegal copyright infringing actions of their users. There are only two ways to stop this:

1) change the DMCA which is what RIAA/MPAA lobbyist are trying to do
2) subpeona Rapdishare in Germany/Switzerland and start suing individual users on Rapidshare that upload copyright infringin content. I don't understand why RIAA/MPAA didn't go that route. I guess Rapdishare isn't in the spotlight enough like P2P.
