    Mediafire is getting a bit ridiculous with their filtering though. I had a lot suspended because it was named "By the Greenway" and this apparently infringes on the copyright of someone named Will Greenway. This has happened to me already a couple of times so I'm going to have to change how I name my stuff.

    Lama also had the same problem twice with Mediafire, just because some files had the name Adele inlcuded. She made a post a few days ago here.

    It's going to be hard to come up with names that have absolutely no words relating to anyone anywhere that has a copyright.

    This is the most ridiculous BS! Mediafire should be renamed MediaStupid.
    And I thought there had to be proof of copyright violation?
    Gosh, that's like saying I will sue everyone who has same name as me. (it was shocking)
    Otherwise, anyone can just say whatever they want to screw up peoples lives for revenge or other dumb reasons.
    Then many companies should be sued also because they tend to "borrow" ideas & stuff from others, & not always with permission.
    And don't get me started on songs that sound too much like some one else, or things I used to write yrs ago when I was a teenager.
    There are only so many words you can use, of course they will be used over & over. These people complaining don't own the exclusive right to words of a language!
    Sheesh, I think I have had it with dumb copyright complaints.
    I didn't know it was THAT bad...

    Mediafire only acts at disposition. My file was deleted by mediafire because of a complaint by Adele's "company".
    Their machines detect about 10.000 files every month, that are assumed being shared illegal.
    Since the company can't check each of it, it asks mediafire to delete the files, if they seem to violate copyright.
    They told me, of the many thousand deleted files, they received two complaints of mistaken deletion (one of the two was mine).
    Mediafire has to make sure, that no illegal stuff is being shared, no rules being violated.
    That's okay, I think.
