MAKE NEW JOBS for PEOPLE. these companies are making millions of dollars, but they can't bother hiring people??

It difficult to moderate what people are uploading though, to be certain they would have to download and check inside every single zip, then if they do that people will start complaining about privacy etc.

okay, that's what newspapers and Tv shows have to do, so why not internet sites???

If TV stations and newspapers are held to certain standards, why shouldn't internet sites be held to those same standards?

I don't see how tv shows and newspapers come into it?

I'm not saying these sites shouldnt be held to certain standards i'm pointing out how difficult it would be for them to check every single file that is uploaded to the site, not only that how would they deal with files that are password protected? and even if they did all that I think there would still be privacy problems to deal with.

They can trace your ip and see where you live, so they could like sue you i suppose

With downloading sites it's all anonymous (i think)

I've already torrented so much stuff that if I'm actually brought to court over it, I don't think a few Ł's here and there where they haven't traced me, would actually make much of difference tbh.

Filesonic was always the worst file sharing site by a mile so I couldn't care less that it's gone.

Havn't illegally downloaded for a while now. Don't think they would individually sue everyone, just the uploaders

They claim that 750,000 people are losing their jobs, but then why do they keep on paying certain actors millions to appear in one movie ?
