Bangalore: A recap of news-making tech events that happened over the weekend would show you how Megaupload, was taken down by US officials due to its infringement of copyrights on content. The event has a lot of Megaupload’s peers (such as FileSonic and FileServe) following suit to shut down their file-sharing services before Uncle Sam comes after them.

But there are others that just function fine, and could be taken down because of the following criteria:

RapidShare, WUpload allow large files’ sharing with better services for premium accounts:

RapidShare, the Switzerland-based file-sharing site, doesn’t have limits on the size of files that can be uploaded or downloaded, but makes the user wait for files in case the account used is not premium. WUpload is another site that comes under the same category since you can upload or download files a maximum file-size of 2 GB for free. Premium accounts allow larger file shares, with no delays or time-outs.
