Go have a look at the SHSC SpiderOak thread; the free 6Gb should be enough for 'important personal files'.

Is Headphones deliberately omitted from the OP? I started using it a few days ago and it's been an absolute dream. Took a $10 donation to get an account for rembo10's musicbrainz mirror, but well worth the money.

Obviously Erratic posted:What exactly does the donation get you that simply using the standard MusicBrainz mirror doesn't? Many more API hits I believe, but personally I just couldn't get the default mirror to work. Happy to donate to something that saves so much time though. On that point: is there any way to donate to nzbs.org, or do they avoid that for legal reasons? Wheelchair: add "german, french, italian, dutch, russian" etc to the "ignore words" field in general settings.

hayden. posted:I don't know, what benefit do they get from spending so much time uploading content on Usenet? Download bandwidth on the topsites they upload to, but that's an ancillary benefit - it's mainly just to earn respect with their peers. The groups all do have a web presence, it's just a private web presence.

So long as your Internet service isn't used exclusively for illegal activities, you don't encourage or advertise illegal use, and you comply with DMCA takedowns when they're issued, you're essentially untouchable. For all the poo poo it gets, the DMCA is spectacularly better than what could have been.

K.O. posted:The whole thing, just feels like, extortion. This, coupled with the automated DMCA notices and companies filling DMCA's for things that they don't actually own just seems like a large scale criminal bullying. We the little people must revolt. How dare they try to stop you pirating whatever the hell you like.
