i'm on Perfect 10's side because we all know what he says about Rapidshare is 100% the truth but Norm is going to get his ass handed to him in court - and fast. The DMCA is pathetic but it's the law. Rapidshare does respond quickly to proper takedown notices. Him going into court like an infant having a temper tantrum saying it's not his job to supply Rapidshare with links to copyright infringing material on their servers is gonna piss off any judge.

the only chance any of these lawsuits against tube sites have of winning is if you prove that the tube sites themselves were uploading copyright infringing materials. I don't think there is any principle of law where a judge can decide that no law has been broken by the defendant but where he can see that the plaintiff has been damaged greatly and there's nobody else to blame so he finds against the defendant. Bottom line in most cases it's going to be the judge/jury deciding 'you plaintiff do have a beef, unfortunately for you it's not against Rapidshare, it's against the DMCA, I can't do anything about that, you're out of luck here'
