Norm Zadah is an idiot and a kook, i'm all on the side of copyright owners but there are laws that judges are bound by, they are weighted against copyright owners badly but you can't just go and sue based on accusations and theories even if they do seem easily understandable. you need facts, evidence, and you yourself have to follow the law to get a judge to give you consideration. Zadah basically acted like a 4 year old having a temper tantrum, he doesn't like the DMCA so didn't make proper takedown notices.
I think under the current DMCA that Rapidshare is bulletproof, legally, we all know what they're doing and how Rapidshare works but according to the law, they are doing nothing illegal and that's sad. I can't believe with such large industries such as the music and movie industries that we are still waiting 10 years later for new legislation to replace the DMCA which obviously has turned out to be a horrible law that copyright infringers gain protection from rather than the copyright owners whom it was supposed to protect.
