rapidshare kitties

where oh where did the rapidshare kitties go? it was annoying as hell, but there's no denying that we all secretly loved the crazy angled cats.

I bet their traffic had a huge dip around the CAT-PTCHA times.

The way to stop piracy is to devise methods that'll annoy the bollocks off you just to acquire the files.

rapidshare's not that annoying anymore. you have to wait for a file, but most upload sites have a waiting time + some sort of captcha. the kitties in rapidshare was the most amount of personality i've ever seen among the mass load of one click hosting sites.

Megaupload and Mediafire are like 8 billion times better, imo. Also if you Google "[artist] [album name] megaupload" you can pretty much find it without fail.
