We are Screwed

[Viole]

People have been going wild on the main page that why uploader X isn't uploading on their favorite host Y. It's about time we make things clear.

Ever since Megaupload has been taken down and the staff were arrested, all the other filehosts have been more cautious. They're massively deleting files and accounts, shutting down various features like hot linking, affiliate programs etc. They're even going as far as to banning the entire country from access their sites (namely, US). Here are a few examples: Fileserve has started deleting accounts, and Uploaded.to has blocked US ips from accessing the site.

That clears the confusion about why certain hosts aren't being uploaded. Now comes the question that would an uploader upload to certain hosts? The thing is, I personally would love to upload to Medafire as people are suggesting, but they don't allow free users to upload more than 200MB, the file space isn't much so the files won't last longer... and most of all, they don't support FTP uploads (which, in my case is the only way to upload from Linux).

Also a heads up: There's a scam site claiming to be a replacement/real Megaupload. Do NOT go on that site. It's fake for starters. And from what I can see, it is running a background malware of some kind which is similar to LOIC, a DDOS tool used to attack sites. To dumb it down, you will be used to attack sites like FBI etc using that malware (if it really is LOIC). Even if it isn't, that site's fake, you have nothing to do there.

Hope this will clear out all the confusions.

EDIT: And down goes Filesonic as well. They have started deleting files and I can't upload from FTP nor any other option. R.I.P.

EDIT 2: Now Filesonic's completely dead. They are only allowing original uploaders to download their own files. They have discontinued their services.

EDIT 3: Uploading.com is deleting all the affiliate accounts as well. Another one bites the dust. Here's a recap of what's happening right now:

- MegaUpload - Closed.
- FileServe - Closed. Does not sell premium.
- FileJungle - Deleting files. Locked in the U.S..
- UploadStation - Deleting accounts. Locked in US.
- FileSonic - the news is arbitrary (under FBI investigation).
- VideoBB - Closed! would disappear soon.
- Uploaded - Banned U.S. and the FBI went after the owners who are gone.
- FilePost - Deleting all material (so will leave executables, pdfs, txts)
- Videoz - closed and locked in the countries affiliated with the USA.
- 4shared - Deleting files with copyright and waits in line at the FBI.
- MediaFire - Called to testify in the next 90 days and it will open doors pro FBI
-Org torrent - could vanish with everything within 30 days "he is under criminal investigation"
- Network Share mIRC - awaiting the decision of the case to continue or terminate Torrente everything.
- Koshiki - operating 100% Japan will not join the SOUP / PIPA
- Shienko Box - 100% working china / korea will not join the SOUP / PIPA
- ShareX BR - group UOL / BOL / iG say they will join the SOUP / PIPA

Well, I guess we're all ****ed then.

We will survive and come back, and in greater numbers.

Well, this was on youtube today.​

Honestly, this is ridiculous, it's like being scared that the gov will take away the manga, and again it's like being scared of these ppl called "anonymous" or w.e their names are. I really hope the world don't end 2012, because it seems like it's going to be with the internet.​

Well, if all the filehosters are going to disappear one by one. . . :/ Don't like it.

Just 3 days after the shutdown of MegaUpload, and a mere 24 hours after FileSonic stop their file sharing functionality. Rapidshare, one of the world’s largest file sharing company are allegedly the FBI’s next target. The tactic is supposedly to remove the “Top Dog” and so the “smaller” companies will feel the pressure and shut themselves down in similar fashion to FileSonic.

This action could spell bad news for File sharing fanatics as the last two major file sharing sites Rapidshare and Mediafire are under pressure. Reports are circulating across the net that the File Sharing giant is to close in the upcoming weeks and to follow the same road as Filesonic in becoming a private storage network.

Lamar Smith should just take a trip to purgatory.

Senator Lamar Smith, lead sponsor of the currently dead SOPA bill you’ve heard so much about, has another bill in the works that uses Child Pornography as a screen to push through an amendment that’ll have your internet service provider tracking all of your financial dealings online. Each time you use a credit card, each time you read your bank statement, all of your IP information and your search history will be required by your ISP to be stored for 18 months at all times. This bill is H.R. 1981 and will have more dire consequences than SOPA or PIPA ever had the potential to have.

What it does is to amend several rules that have to do with Child Pornography and preventing it, the bill itself called the “Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011.” What it also does is to change the U.S. code Chapter 18 section 2703 Required Disclosure of Customer Communications or Records to include a requirement that your internet service provider do the following:

A commercial provider of an electronic communication service shall retain for a period of at least one year a log of the temporarily assigned network addresses the provider assigns to a subscriber to or customer of such service that enables the identification of the corresponding customer or subscriber information under subsection (c)(2) of this section.

While it was legal for the government to issue a subpoena for the viewing of the information they speak about here before, it was not part of the law that internet service providers capture or retain that information at any point. In effect, while before the authorities would need to first find a reason for you to need to be watched to get the ISP to start collecting information from you, that information will already exist on file, effectively meaning you’re being watched and recorded even if you’ve done nothing wrong.

Don’t worry though, there’s an additional set of lines that should placate you because it’s so very kind of them to think of:

(1) to encourage electronic communication service providers to give prompt notice to their customers in the event of a breach of the data retained pursuant to section 2703(h) of title 18 of the United States Code, in order that those effected can take the necessary steps to protect themselves from potential misuse of private information; and

(2) that records retained pursuant to section 2703(h) of title 18, United States Code, should be stored securely to protect customer privacy and prevent against breaches of the records.

So don’t worry, your information will be “stored securely” so noone else can access it! But if they do access it, your ISP will give you “prompt notice” so you can change all your credit card numbers, hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband. This bill has currently cleared its committee, this meaning that the next step is a full vote. This bill needs to be stopped, and if I might go one better, Lamar Smith needs to be stopped, for the good of the internet and YOUR privacy.

I'll bet that everything will turn back to quite normal circumstances in 1 or 2 months. Up until then, **** this shit, I don't need that much stuff.
