Sites to copyright-protected content on cyberlockers like Rapidshare link, and not the cyberlockers themselves, are the evil to be combated. The head of legal affairs of Rapidshare.
The U.s. government would linksites must tackle, in place of ‘innovation to obstruct’. That, says Daniel Raimer, chief legal officer at Rapidshare, according to TorrentFreak. Rapidshare, where users can upload files and share, is itself under fire because of copyright infringement, just as competitors. Is MegaUpload the most prominent example.
Rapidshare, however, is that the self is not to blame. After all, it’s linksites, and not the cyberlockers that copyright infringement facilitation, sets Raimer. Rapidshare itself has no search function; it are other websites that offer an overview.
In addition, Raimer that the Us government is less emphasis on new legislation should lay more emphasis on voluntary cooperation by enabling companies, such as Rapidshare. Advertisers and payment processors have been working with the government to make copyright infringement more difficult by not cooperating with infringing sites. Services like Rapidshare would be able to help. Raimer did his views from the canvases, in an advice to the Us government and during a conference in Colorado.
