Default How the hell hasn't zippyshare been shut down yet?

whilst going through Beatport(music download site) earlier, i used both google and youtube to reference/find new tracks.

Every track name you type in there is a link for Zippyshare for an illegal copy. And these are more underground tracks that i am talking about.

There are countless links for chart ****e, but tracks that maybe sell a thousand tracks in total (If Lucky) are even on Zippyshare


There is even a youtube channel for songs and there accompanying zippy link.

If they shut down a load of other sites recently, like Megaupload, how can this much pirating still go on?

Everyone should be free to steal anyone else's work whenever they like, why should someone claim ownership and make money out of something just because they created it. How selfish of them!

tbh the stuff that is released today is mostly crap and not worth the £10+ you might spend on a DVD / CD and the fact that its out there on the internet for free.. Which one do you think people are going to go for?

I've removed the offending comment that took this thread off topic and turned it into a flame war. Lets keep the thread on topic please foks and

a) Not post material intended to antagonise - this is trolling and encourages me to reach for the ban hammer!
b) Not rise to such comments as you're only adding fuel to the fire and putting yourself in harm's way.

It's all subjective so that's your opinion, and not necessarily anybody else's.


Regardless, they are still going out of their way to obtain the material so it can't be that bad. But my question was more about why has it not been shut down? it's far too easy to obtain illegal software/media
