    does megaupload hand in ips of accounts that have been caught uploading illegal files?
    what are the chances of getting caught and fined through megaupload? thanks

    No change if you upload to other hosts like Mediafire.

    I've almost never seen a link deleted on Mediafire.

    But about Megaupload...I don't know.

    megaupload has a privacy policy, do they have to stick with it?

    Huh...? They say that they can make information public...so I think yes you can get caught.

    They log your IP as well. They can make info public...man you GOTTA use Mediafire for sure...

    Yes, you are safe from hiding your file names.

    And no, there are no spies from Nintendo on this site.

    so i guess its best to make a false description and password the rar too?

    Password is not needed, but a false description...yes, that would be safe.

    Be quiet. How in the hell could Nintendo be here after all?

    "Hello I'm Shiwagata Migerio from Nintendo and I am here to spy you all!"

    If spies were here, we wouldn't just announce that we were spies gathering info on you...

    I mean "they"... not "we"... damn *goes back to hiding*
