File hosting service is dead

Bad news for leechers. Due to the Megaupload incident, every file hosting service providers fear getting themselves sued and now they are completely stopping users from downloading any files unless the files are uploaded by the users. Some smaller file hosters even call it quits immediately.

In the wake of last week’s Megaupload shutdown, some of the biggest names in the market are taking drastic action. During the last 48 hours many sites have completely withdrawn their systems for paying uploaders when their files are shared with others, but one of the most dramatic moves came first from Filesonic and today Fileserve. Both services now forbid people from downloading any files they didn’t upload themselves.
