Due to the threats of SOPA and MPAA there is a possibilities that this Paid to upload sites will be closing down soon enough. As you may heard on the news Megaupload the largest file sharing and storage websites have been shutdown by federal bureau due to criminal copyright infringement it had been said that megaupload causes more than $500 million lost revenue in entertainment industries. This first shutdown threatens some online earners like me who uses file sharing sites as source of my income. Three of the top paying file sharing sites might be next target, just recently fileserve have close down his affiliate program and scam its affiliates. This just a big lost for me since most of my earnings are coming from Fileserve, Filesonic and Freakshare. Since Fileserve is the 3rd of the top paying paid to upload sites I fear that Filesonic will be next and if this happened It will the end of my online earnings since I spend most of my two years with file sharing. Though I have a back up files in other Hosting sites most of my earnings and referrals are from Filesonic and Fileserve as you may see my payment proofs here (http://earning-101.blogspot.com/p/payment-proofs.html). Will this be the end for Paid to Upload sites?

Well, they did not vote on or pass anything yet. From what I heard is that they scraped the whole bill. Now it is pretty much going to remain as it is right now. I am sure at some point they will revisit the idea. But many people protested the whole thing and thats why it was stopped.

Money, money, money. That's truly what it's all about. Bottom line is, US companies are losing money through file-sharing sites. That's all there is to it. Greed. They say to us that the "little guy" is the one who loses in all these transactions......Rubbish! The "little guy" gets paid his hourly salary no matter what....and it's far UNDER the percentage a producer makes from the product. He/she gets their paycheck at the end of the week no matter what transpires on the web. Their wages are not garnished because a film or new CD was leaked on the web. Their whole problem is that they don't make money unless someone goes to the cinema to see their film or goes to whatever music store to buy their product. You think they don't pay the "musicians", "stars", etc beforehand to make the product? Are they the ones who are crying about it all? Nope. If they're smart, they've negotiated they're earnings beforehand and are not affected by internet downloads at all. Fact is, the internet as we know it was created by the US government. It was a spy tool. It morphed into this world-wide phenomenon that the US govt couldn't comprehend and can't understand. They are just now beginning to understand the implications and rewards it can bring and are trying to bring it under their control....to reap the benefits of it. In order to do that, they've got to control it. It's a big world out there. We are many countries and many voices. Question is.....should the US be allowed to control the internet? Will we let them?
