Re:Rapidshare should not be the exception... (Score 1)

What makes hosts like rapidshare exceptions is that they are free; since they don't have to be payed for, the services and files hosted by the services are much more widely accessible. It is only logical that organizations would target these major freely accessible services--seen as major threats--first, and attack them without mercy. Is this probable cause to use underhanded tactics? I wouldn't say so; however, business is about profit, and, in their eyes, any threat to their income should be eliminated.
