DepositFilesĬyprus-based DepositFiles has a bare bones design, but the site has pretty incredible sharing capabilities available for free. BayFiles’ terms of service say content that “violates third-party copyrights” is not permitted to be uploaded, but the site still makes it effortless to share copyrighted material with others.

The site was created by two of the founders of notorious torrent website The Pirate Bay, which said two weeks ago it would gradually stop serving torrent files because of sustained heat. Hong Kong-based BayFiles may be one of the file-sharing sites that attracts government scrutiny based on pedigree alone. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of 15 file-sharing sites still up and running that the government could potentially target next (in alphabetical order). “The Megaupload case will set precedent for these types of businesses and how liable they are.” “At this point, it’s hard to tell how far you can extrapolate, but I don’t think anyone should rest easy,” said Felix Wu, assistant law professor at Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University. That said, just because a company is confident about its legitimacy and employees don’t absurdly flaunt their wealth, doesn’t guarantee the government won’t investigate it. The CEO of popular file-sharing site MediaFire told me Sunday the company isn’t too concerned about government scrutiny because it is a legitimate business and doesn’t incentivize piracy like Megaupload did. If convicted, the company’s executives could serve many years in prison.Įven with trouble brewing, many sites that emulate Megaupload’s basic capabilities still work just fine. The indictment alleges Megaupload is connected to a vast criminal enterprise and has caused more than $500 million in harm to copyright owners.
Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom and several other Megaupload employees were arrested after being named in a 72-page indictment issued Thursday by the DOJ. And another well-trafficked site, Uploaded.to, has blocked all U.S.-based IP addresses in fear of getting in serious trouble with the U.S. Over the weekend, popular Megaupload alternatives FileSonic and FileServe completely turned off the ability to share files with other people.
