The CEO of Mediafire isn’t worried about the government coming after them

“Another reason Labian said he wasn’t worried about the government stepping in is because the company maintains a “good relationship” with various government bodies, including “Homeland Security, ICE, and the FBI.” Following DMCA protocols, whenever MediaFire is notified of a copyrighted file being shared inappropriately, the company immediately takes it down.”

It seems like the gov’t has mainly been going after filesharing sites that made profit from users uploading pirated content-offering membership to have faster download/upload speeds and etc. Mediafire doesn’t offer this service and the rest of the article seems to put to rest any fears about the website being inspected or taken down.


Here’s an article listing current known statuses of other filesharing websites with a legitimate source
