FileSonic Disables File Sharing After MegaUpload Arrests

From PC World: An online storage service, FileSonic, has disabled file sharing between users following the takedown of the MegaUpload service for alleged copyright infringement violations.

The company, which lists corporate offices in Hong Kong and the U.K., ran a banner on the front page of its website saying: "All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally."

On Friday, New Zealand law enforcement officials and several other people wanted by U.S. prosecutors for allegedly profiting from the distribution of copyrighted content without proper permission.

FileSonic offers a free service that allows users to upload up to 10 GB of data for up to 30 days and throttles the speed at which the material can be uploaded or downloaded. Its subscription service, which starts at $9 per month, lets users upload unlimited files up to 5 GB in size with no time limits or speed throttling.
