I don't remember if I've used Rapidshare in the past but I do know that makers of custom ROMs for my android phone make use of these type of sites to distribute them. If a site is found to actively promote piracy, refuses to comply with legitimate take down notices, etc, sure go after that site but there are substantial legitimate uses for this technology. Tools like this should not be neutered across the board because of a few bad actors. If someone murders somebody with a butcher knife you don't counter that by insisting from now everyone can only use plastic butter knives.
