Rapidshare to close Rapidpoints Programme

Hi Everyone,
This is a real shocker & a bad news too. rapidshare will be stopping to give rapidpoints for the downloads from July. This means that all those people who used to make money by selling RS accounts its THE END for them. Now rapidshare will not be in demand anymore. Really sad. This is what is in the news.


Reward programme: RapidPoints and RapidDonations to be discontinued
June 18, 2010

As of July 1, 2010 RapidShare's RapidPoints programme will be discontinued. This decision by the company is a reaction to claims that the reward programme rewards the uploading of contents that are protected by copyright.
We feel it is necessary to undertake this step as we do not wish RapidShare's users to be exposed to such an unjustified general suspicion. Our primary objective remains to provide users with a fast, secure and reliable service.

What will the changes mean for our users?
First, nobody will lose any points that have already been accumulated. You can redeem them until July 6, 2010. Please also note that within the next days we will offer you an opportunity to convert a Collector's account into a free Premium account and to transfer your points into this Premium account.
Unfortunately, we must also give up the RapidDonation scheme. An amount of 10,000 Euros was collected for each and every organisation and project that was introduced. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the donors for their contributions!
We are currently exploring how we can continue the donation programme in the future.
Clearly, we would like to continue rewarding customers who recruit new clients. As soon as we have developed a new reward programme, we will of course contact you immediately to provide more details.


Now the question is Who will be the next successor of Rapidshare?????

 

That is a really sad news. First they stopped the rewards program now the point system too!

 

Shoker? Only for those trading with Rapidshare accounts and probably the reason why since this was contributing with warez realted uploads.

 

No Warez no need to have premium accounts simple as that

 

shame in you RS
bye bye 3M PP

 

Yes this is a third Big Heart Attack rapidshare gave to its uploaders :'-(

 

They are already losing to Hotfile. This will make them die sooner.

 

You cant sell any accounts here. Invite the banhammer with this spam

btw rapidshare is gonna end up. hf or else will rule then

 

yes you are right

 

Doesn't look like they really care... And they just had a ruling that they weren't 'responsible' for the content that is uploaded to their systems, they are just a 'storage locker'.... Must be a new tactic to try and get out of a few more of their pending lawsuits...

 

so bad I wonder how they will compete with daily growing new file sharing services

 

after they got rid of the CEO, it looks like they completely changed their business model, no longer rewarding their uploaders, who were the ones that gave the downloaders content... Now they appear to be more inclined to make partnerships with large media companies to host their contents...

 

when traffic gets down they realize some facts

 

Its very certain now that RS will lose their possession indiscriminately.
FU RS. Bye & Take Care

 

May be u r right but large Media companies can afford their own file hosting servers..why they will make partnership with rapidshare

 

Once they lose their share they will never pick up !!! Lost is lost !!! With lot of servers they can better move on to hosting a more profitable venture !!!

 

due to legal threats and copy right issues

 

relax guys...surely they will come with some new ideas and again ll be on top

 

Bordello that will never happen RS has been dying for almost 2 yrs now by the end of the yr RS will be 90% dead RS give nothing back to its uploaders & free users are screwed so hard

RS has always sucked more reason to switch to Hotfile or Mgeaupload & yall need to stop thinking you can more than $35 a month from any file host most people do not make that. If your main way to make money off the internet is from file host you need to get a reality check file host is one of the top 3 worst ways to make money. A great way to make money is setup a website or msg forum more & run ads on it

 

DJbouti Your having some kind of a misconception... I myself have earned abt 200-300$ a month & there are people who earn 10 times more than me.... IT depends how yu utilise yur accounts with the file hosters.. TC...
