    Is it legal to upload and share movies/games/software etc?
    Like full photoshop or new movies or new games and so on?

    Yes, usually just get it removed. Sometimes they go further into taking legal action against the user.

    No way I've been with Megashare as an affiliate for a while and had plenty deleted they give the impression they care about their users under DMCA every file host has to delete but I don't think for one tiny second that they would take legal action against any affiliate, think you're getting a bit paranoid dude if you don't mind me saying. No offence meant, wish you the best.

    Who is the "they" you are talking about? Megashare or the content owner? The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and others, either content owners or representatives of content owners HAVE SUED AND WON SUBSTANTIAL JUDGMENTS against individuals who illegally uploaded copyrighted content.

    While those actions have not seemed to stemmed the tsunami of copyrighted materials being downloaded through P2P sites, and seem to be currently out of favor as an enforcement mechanism, there is no assurance that the content owners will not sue a user who posts their material.
