Is it illegal to download from sites like rapidshare if i pay for it?

I really want to know so if i need to ill pay for it to download, so i really wanna know if paying for rapidshare and downloading on it, is illegal….

Chosen Answer:

Downloading a file does NOT give you the liscense to use it. I think rapid fire knows that and is counting on people not knowing the difference. Paying for a program is NOT paying for the content. I think that companies who prey on customers who do not know or who are encouraged not to know the truth is unethical

Can you get visited by the police from downloading something for free from Rapidshare?

I usually download games off Rapidshare for free… will this push the police to me house?

Chosen Answer:

No, dont worry!
Rapidshare will only ban accounts that upload games and other copyrighted content. If you just download games/files off rapidshare then your fine and rapidshare never sends details to the poice anyway.

Can you work for Rapidshare blocking illegal content?

Does Rapidshare offer such job positions?

Chosen Answer:

No. Many people who will answer your question will proberly say Rapid Share is illigal. Rapid Share is not illigal as it only hosts them but the people who upload them onto it say put a movie torrent on there that is at the cinema, they are doing something wrong you are just the viewer not the feeder (person who put the thing on there).

Can you see from what IP address a certain file has been uploaded to rapidshare?

For example: Someone uploads a file on to rapidshare, and I want to see who uploaded the file onto rapidshare. Is there any way I could find that out?
If there is a way please specify.

Chosen Answer:

no, there is no way. Rapidshare has not even announced if they are saving uploader-IPs, but as files get frequently blocked for “illegal content” and nobody so far was sued I guess they don’t. So, well, as they don’t save the IP and/or don’t even give it to multimillion dollar industry representatives I guess the chances that you can find it out are quite minor.

Also, the IP won’t tell you much anyway, despite the provider and area where a person lives, as most people have a new IP every day (namely: every time you (re)connect, e.g. through turning off your router).

Sorry, but good luck. In the end, if you got a link somehow and want to find out where it comes from ask around the person who sent it to you… that’s as far as I see the only way to find it.
