Huff ruled that Perfect 10 had thus failed to show that RapidShare had failed to take simple measures to ?prevent further damages to plaintiff?s copyrighted works. Rather, the evidence suggests that RapidShare is using information provided by plaintiff to locate and remove infringing materials, and is also taking independent steps to identify, locate, and remove infringing files.?
