you are not wrong, but this also applies to VPN services. (their defense is as good as the sharehosters are useful for downloading Linux ISOs) and without using any of those proxy services, the lawyers get rich on my money, not the artists either
VPNs would still be in business if illegal filesharing didn't exist. I don't think you could say the same for sharehosters.
true. because they scam people into thinking they would add privacy.
