This is really sad. If this precedent is set, anything put on Rapidshare can be inspected, i.e. a privacy violation.
And what if people put encrypted archives on there? Is RapidShare required to break it?
What if it's like RSA >9000 or something? Will the need to spend billions of years just to crack it and satisfy copyright laws?
What if the sun engulfs the Earth before they break the encryption? Can they be sued?

LOL that would mean that RapidShare would have to delete more than 90% of their content :D

Hey RapidShare!!

Move your server-farm to the Cayman Islands and tell the German courts to blow it out their collective ear.

Some nice suggestions there, but Nigeria just doesn't have the same commanding view of the ocean, you know?
