Did they turn off Rapidshare.com?

    On the network on many blogs and forums, there were reports that on January 19 at 16.00 GTM representatives of the fight against piracy showed up at the Berlin office and data center of Rapidshare AG's and seized hundreds of servers on the basis of the warrant. According to rumors, on the basis of data stored on confiscated servers, hundreds of indictments will be brought against users who downloaded pirated products from the Rapidshare service.
    A response was received to Rapidshare's support team that there are technical problems and will be resolved soon. But such an answer does not match the answer that was received by PCWelt magazine correspondents who contacted Rapidshare lawyers, as usual, the lawyers did not confirm this information, although they said that they are currently working on the problem, without any specifics. There is also a version that there is a problem with DNS servers, and soon everything will return to normal.
    A new portion of rumors:
    1. UseNeXT bought Rapidshare and now the DNS is being translated.
    2. GMA agreed with providers and they just block traffic from Rapidshare.com
