Accepted. And agreed, RapidShare, by its nature, will wind up hosting illegal content. There will be no realistic way to prevent it.
I think my basic point is that it's usually an error to point to your own behavior as representative. It may well be, but you normally can't prove it.

From my point of view it does not matter what the percentage is. It must be possible to have services like rapidshare so if people think it is a problem they have to change something else.

I agree. Under the circumstances, I wonder what folks concerned that RapidShare is hosting illegal content would see done. Shut down RapidShare entirely?
Along that line, I'm bemused by the German court ruling that RapidShare must filter to keep content from a media company that had sued off it's service. Splendid.
How?
