FileSonic Stops Sharing Files

Filesonic, one of the Internet’s leading cyberlocker services, has taken some drastic measures following the Megaupload shutdown and arrests last week. In addition to discontinuing its affiliates rewards program and not yet paying accrued money to members, the site has disabled all sharing functionality, leaving users only with access to their own files.

FileSonic is noteworthy because it has recently begun to establish formal distribution agreements with artists. Those contracts could be frozen if the authorities were to pursue copyright-infringement actions against FileSonic.

This thing is scaring other file sharing websites who will do the same if no one stood and did something about it.

Uploaded.to had stopped all activities for users from the US while other countries can still use their service, while MediaFire and RapidShare are keeping up their work and will not stop as announced on MediaFire Blog:

“Recently there has been extensive media coverage of the United States Government’s shut down of MegaUpload.com which has drawn attention to the entire cloud storage market as a whole. While I can’t speak to the allegations against MegaUpload, I’d like to just take this opportunity to clarify some misconceptions about MediaFire that I’ve seen recently.”
