A number of file-sharing sites have decided to shut up shop after the arrest of the owners of Megaupload and the site's subsequent shutdown.
FileSonic is perhaps the most well-known file-sharing site to down tools, announcing that it has now turned into a personal digital locker service rather than a public one.
A statement on the website reads: "All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our services can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally."
Another site to drastically change its business model in light of the Megaupload fiasco is Uploaded.to which has made itself unavailable to users residing in the US. »read more
