I use 4Shared for some things. I don’t suppose they have a paid membership that has access to watch other people’s files. That’s the point of some sites, including the former MegaUpload.
But 4Shared has the typical misleading “Download” buttons all over their page, designed to give you unwanted spam executables. One of my files doesn’t seem to be available anymore, but no notice about that, and every kind of link to download spam instead. Remember there are loads of new users who don’t know what’s going on with those. So yes I can believe that it’s a rogue or even criminal site.
There are Russian connections.
Not that I would close it.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) means that when you complain about a report calling you a pirate haven, and throw in that you make a lot less than what is said in the report, make sure that when someone Googles ’4shared financial accounts’ they see your financials first. I never realised just how many accounting books are legitimately available for free… they are legit aren’t they?

0.05% of their files are tagged with take down notices. Alright, that is a relatively small number, considering they’re dealing with billions of files…. But I’m wondering what their total pirated file count would be.

Take down notices are not their only means of discovering pirated content. They mentioned they also provide “some of the most trusted rightsholder representative” with direct access to zap files without having to issue take down requests. And they also scan all music files uploaded and automatically remove any infringing files as well.

It would be interesting to see just how much higher the 0.05% jumps when the other two factors are added into the mix. [and of course how low it jumps once all the false positives are removed - cause we know from Warner v Hotfile just how accurate rightholders are with removing only files that belong to them....]
