We believe that RapidGator do not actually delete content, we have fairly compelling evidence to indicate that up-loaders can simply re-instate content without fear of losing their account and files.



Rapidgator are making a serious error of judgement if they think that this behaviour is without consequences. Watch this space.




I agree. We have our hands full dealing with infringing file lockers. We're not going into the business of approving sites. If you're legitimately legal then you have nothing to fear from the Stop File Lockers project.



Sites which monetize infringing content without a serious effort in place to mitigate this are likely to be targeted. It's really not that difficult for a business to know whether or not it's operating within the law.



No, it's not effective when a business has set itself up as an online fence for stolen digital content. Sites like Rapidgator are not serious cloud storage services, they're specifically designed to profit from infringing content. They're criminal operations and need to be addressed as such.
