Western Governments Crack Down, Go Global

May 13, 2008

piracyarrests.jpgWell, it seems that that is where most of the file sharing services on the internet has gone global to avoid persecution in their home countries. File sharing companies have moved their servers off-site to remote and secure locations in the never ending cat and mouse battle between these people who governments call criminals but most of us patronize because of the tons of free stuff that can be acquired form them. Dangers lurk in every corner of the free file sharing world but still many patronize them due to the cost of legal downloads nowadays.
Most Developed countries have strict and enforced laws regarding copyright infringement and other intellectual rights laws but elsewhere around the world, not too many countries are quite stringent due to the lack of funding and resources. Surprisingly, one of the most used file sharing servers are based in Russia where there are not much in terms of international copyrights laws and coverage by the government. Other countries like Switzerland with their strict adherence to privacy laws have servers locked down in bank vaults that only the owners can open. Some of the most creative people on the market like the guys of Pirate Bay even went mobile taking their file sharing servers with them on the road where they can be quite hard to trace.
P2P file sharing sites still abound but there are still a lot of legal issues to be settled in the individual countries and many have begun to crack down on the many file sharing services that used to promote illegal file sharing services but have now started to turn legal paid download sites. The future may be bright for digital music and other media but as governments crack down on file sharing sites which is sure to have committed violations of one type or the other in the quest to tame the digital music revolution.
