The latest game those cute cutthroats are playing: undercutting EVERY company that is offering a "cloud" service. Google wants to make sure that if YOU are planning on stealing music and movies, you use THEIR cloud. Then you can give away all the Beach Boys and faggy "sunshine pop" music you want in a secret forum, or maybe a "members only" blog (which Blogger/Blogspot allows with impunity).
While poor Rapishare and some of the other companies are going to take a hit...so what. The Great God Google, Big Brother to us ALL, will be richer and more powerful.
Besides, Rapidshare and Freakshare and Fuckshare and Slimyshare and the rest will always have sad little Nazi bastards like Zinhof...and others who are legitimately scared that one day there will be that knock on the door...and they might be the example of "Five years in JAIL," or "$65,000 fine and you WILL pay it." Don't count on Google with their Drive and Cloud to stand behind YOU and not give up your name and address if a court order comes their way!
One of the oldest tricks in the world is for a powerful company to come along, and basically rape and murder Mom and Pop (stores) by offering the lowest prices. Obliterate the competition and then...slowly...raise the prices right back up to what they were. Heh heh. That's what all the monopolies do...phone, Internet service, cable TV, and...oh, did I not mention that Amazon just raised their price ($99 from $79) to be a "premium" member there and get shipping discounts?
