What does it matter? You can just host files here or somewhere else.

Looked up that Muso TNT company, here's what Google says of their website:

The industry standard in fighting online piracy. muso.com allows you to track and remove illegal files in the fastest and most cost-effective ... 2013 Muso TNT Ltd.

So apparently their all for that SOPA/PIPA crap?

[Phobos]

It matters because MUSO TNT has no legal right to claim copyright infringement over a file that Disney/LA owns the rights to. I have filed a counterclaim. This is my main mediafire account which has all my mods backed up, so its important in that respect also. What are you gonna do if they start trying to censor the mods hosted on this site hmm?

[RepComm]

I don't see how they could control this site, but that would definitely be sad.

edit- I just realized how completely idiotic that sounded...

[Ltin]

This is total [manure]

That's so stupid.. I can still log into my account though?

That's utter tosh it's not their place to make a claim. Just quote the EULA at them.

[Sereja]

Of'course, I do not understand the process, but probably, they have some search system, that may monitoring uploaded file names. If that so, you just need to rename your files, to some not connected with Star Wars names, or rename them, like that: Cl@ud $ity.
Actualy, Mediafire, become very unfriendly and buggy now. They decrease space limit, from 50 to 20 GB, and stop upload .rar files. So, I have no idea yet, where am I should upload my next maps or mods...

Just an idea for those who have a root or vRoot Server:
Install filezilla.

[StoneCold]

Or get yourself a Mega account. They have 50GB free space for uploads. I use it currently for all my files without any problems: https://mega.co.nz/

[RepComm]

Note, that if you do attempt at getting Mega, and you are using firefox, you could probably run into an 'error' like the picture below.
And have to update your browser.

You can do a direct ftp upload of files here.  I can send you a PM with the details.

I think he means they are just censoring his mods, not every single mod?
