I loved Megaupload. It was my quick file sharing method of choice since it required no signup in order to upload (anonymous upload).
With the fact that Megaupload was based on anonymous upload, I really do not see how they can be held responsible for the content anonymous users send them. My business partner ran the scenario that he is a drug dealer and I am Kennards Hire, and if he stores drugs in a storage shed of mine even if he doesn’t pay me a cent, I can be held responsible for its contents, even though I have no reasonable grounds to search its contents (privacy). So how is data storage any different? Really, how is it because I don’t understand?
So anyway, Minus seems to be a really good alternative to Megaupload. It does require registration, however you just need to supply a username and password – all other fields are optional. You are limited to 50GB of uploads… but hey, whats stopping me from creating another account?
And all my posts to Minus are available from http://criten.minus.com
This is absolutely hilarious. It is like trying to kill a hydra by cutting off its head. Almost entertaining to watch the Big Media companies try to cry foul and control the world while crying poor and posting record profits.
