Six book publishers have gained an injunction against file-hosting company, RapidShare. The Swiss-based ‘cyberlocker’ service must monitor user uploads to ensure that around 148 titles, many of them textbooks, are never made available to its users. Failure to do so could result in $339,000 fines, or even jail time for company bosses.

Thanks for sharing the info, I always wonder how big is the storage of Rapidshare, YouTube, and Facebook; and the business model of Rapidshare. :-)
