Freedom, maybe they think 6000 people will download a $1 track once each.

Or maybe they know they can sue 1 pirate $6000 per song they find s/he shared.

5,000 tracks from its catalogue available on the Internet. The court estimated the value of the tracks at $34 million.

So $34000000 for 5000 files?

That is 34000000/5000 == $6800 per file.

That was some really expensive music!

Even if one were to grant neostyles’ claims about the ability to crack encrypted communications: there is a difference between doing it against one targeted person, and doing it against a flood of data pouring into a commercial service such as RapidShare. To comply with the court order, as I read it, RapidShare would have to decrypt ALL uploads, and that is clearly beyond anyone’s technical ability to do in real time.

hotfile is booming…

Too bad Hotfile sucks. The download speeds are even slower than Rapidshare and they make you wait even longer between downloads.

Solution:
Pack the files in an archive with strong encryption. And do that TWICE so that people who don’t know the password will only see one single archive within an archive. Better yet, do it thrice or more if needed.

You don’t need to encrypt twice to hide the filenames, Rar has an option to encrypt the filenames as well. Without the password, it looks like an empty archive.
