Megaupload forcibly closed by the Department of Justice and U.S. law enforcement with the accusation of "mega-conspiracy" Intellectual Property Rights violations. However, several analysts said, this closure will not reduce the rampant online piracy.
One of them, as users of such digital storage sites in the U.S. is still small. Based on data from NPD Market Research, only 3 percent of U.S. Internet users who use it.
Network users' peer to peer "even more, which is about 9 percent. Analysts predict this number will increase as the closing of Megaupload.
Online storage services such as Megaupload put certain files on the storage servers from service providers. While peer to peer is shared between users directly.
According to NPD analyst Russ Crupnick, a user peer to peer services like BitTorrent will increase. "I think the number of those who share files is not necessarily increased, but the volume of downloads via torrent may go up," he told Reuters.
Parties to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) seem unsure of the analysis.
According to them, users still easier to use than the services a la Megaupload BitTorrent peer to peer style.
On the other hand, as if closing the door to the suppression Megaupload possibility distribution channels creative copyrighted works without the intervention of "Hollywood".
Services such as Megaupload and other distribution channels may be movies, music or software directly from the artist or maker to the consumer.
"This fact can be a way for artists to come out of the treaty-style record label that can be very limiting. Services like this foam to be an important way to earn money and spend their work," said Jennifer Granick, a lawyer for the internet issue.
