Sharebeast.com got bodied by the FBI....RIP

[Mastamimd]

They should have left this shyt alone back in the mIRC/Napster/AudioGalaxy days. Back then the general public weren't going after albums that heavy, just songs and shyt. Only the super computer savvy people had a "collection", hell I was one of them and the only people that ate well were the people that were on forums like this one. Soon as they shut those down it opened up the floodgates and the RIAA/FBI has been suffering ever since. I remember seeing that stupid ass Megaupload commercial with all of the artists and actors saying they love megaupload and shyt...I saw the writing on the wall. shyt was doomed from the start. They're better off saving their efforts for real criminals than college students looking for an old school Canibus freestyle. I buy albums maybe once or twice a year(Kendrick, Cole, Scarface, Nas) but that's it. The irony in it is when Audiogalaxy was on and poppin' I still bought albums to support the artists. Now there's no point at all, the game has changed too much and there's almost no point in buying albums.

Lol, are you reallt that dumb? They are not in a "war" against drugs, they know exactly who produce it and who transport, what they do is control the whole process.

No you little fakkit, thus why I put it in the same "quotes" you did

 

[imirza]

nikka Zippyshare has been around since 2006 or some shyt, if you think the people don't know about them by now you playin yoself homeskillet.

THIS x 1000. I always laugh when ppl post that stupid shyt "don't post such and such in this forum." You think the Gov doesn't already know?!

nikkas saying downloading is dead. Y'all crazy. Maybe for music. But movies??? I'm not gonna stream 1080p movies and deal with buffering and all that when u can download it one time and be done. Y'all got the game fukked up

Now music I might agree. Ever since I got spotify premium I haven't downloaded anything besides the young thug leaks

I stream movies all the time using
"corn""

On Kodi shyt tells you what the quality is and the streams NEVER go dead. I got 4 tbs worth of movies I have never watched more than once. Waste of space.

If only there was a way to get rid of files you didn't want to keep :whiteparadise:

 

[TrifeGod]

SAVE BASEDGOD ZIPPY NOW

 

[Golayitdown]

I miss ZSHARE it was the best...

I just miss the gorillaarms drops

 

[riddlerap]

Get Kodi. All of that shyt is easily accessible now. You nikkas need to get on that streaming wave, fukk downloading all that shyt anymore. Get your essentials and the lowkey shyt that might be hard to find years down the line, everything else, stream that shyt and keep it pushing. Ain't nobody impressed by your extensive ass media collections these days, everybody got the same shyt at the click of a button now.

so you think renting a house is better than owning it?

Megaupload hurt my heart

Around the mid-2000s rapidshare and megaupload kept the streets from starving.

 

[Eza]

this isn't true. In rap msuic theres tons of demos and freestyles that are simply impoosible to find these days.

Get your essentials and the lowkey shyt that might be hard to find years down the line

Guess you missed this part.

Try to equate owning a home to "owning" some HD rips of a movie you'll probably watch once or twice brehs.

 

[Another Man]

This is exactly like the war on drugs.

fukking pointless.

Shout out to Og sites like YouSendit and rapidsharr

 

[L. Deezy]

it's a cycle, when one shuts down, another 10 pop up

This is true... but you got millions of albums and singles that's not uploaded on the net now..

This. Sharebeast was dope but the idea that file sharing can be shut down in 2015 is laughable. It was fukking laughable almost a decade ago. This train that started with Napster has left that station and it ain't going back. The industry needs to adapt and just deal with the fact that this is in play. Find another way to profit. I mean I guess it's not a bad idea to shut these sites down. But like you said, more and more will just pop up.
