“For quite a few weeks and months we have seen changes in the filehosting business. Several new players are trying heavily and with shady or unfair business practices to get into the market. I am convinced that most of those new players are trying really hard to gain the favor of those users, who rely on cyberlockers to spread and distribute copyright protected content,” he writes, adding that other well-established cyberlockers are trying to compete with the aggressive marketing efforts of these new players.

“RapidShare has decided not to participate in this battle and not to fight for the favor of criminals. Instead we would rather like to agitate against these activities and – if possible – to institute proceedings against those competitors of ours, who are intentionally supporting criminal activities,” Chang writes.

“We are more aggressively than before terminating accounts of users who have been caught uploading copyright protected content,” he explains, while adding that they have also stopped the payout option that was part of the “rewards program.”

Same kind of position I'm in.

If there were no changes and my account ran close to its expiry date (which was after 6th July), I'd have earned enough points to extend for a month under the old rules. Now... nothing.
