After Rapidshare's failed attempt to introduce its five-package rip-off deal to the public 1st of July, and the strong international reactions of its customer base, Rapidshare has permanantly retracted its five-package program but has not instituted the point system that it withdrew!
It seems that all along RS had in mind a plan to kill its uploaders. No serious hoster makes such a strategic mistake just to take it back a couple of days after. After they bunched all customers up in their platform one good ol morning they decide to blackmail the customer base into making a cartload of money.
But it seems that they're not a getting a penny from anyone. Most users are moving to different file hosters like Megaupload and Hotfile. It should be a mass move though or else downloaders will just disperse to various hosters turning into a "babel" of file hosting posts to everyones disadvantage.
Reactions to this decision are worldwide and all downloaders are calling for the boycott of Rapidshare...

Hula hooping is both fun and energizing as a form of exercise. It takes only a little bit of practice to master the skill, along with a bit of flexibility. When you get really good at it, you will find that it helps to increase the strength of your abdominal region. A quick tip for you, if you're trying to lose weight use the hula hoop for 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week and by the end of the week you will see results. If you want even faster results than hula hoop every day for 30 minutes, you will see results. Plus, it's fun!
The hoop emerged in the world of circus in the 1960s, with Russian and Chinese artists taking it to extremes. These influenced contemporary circus artists like Australian circus comedian and hula hoop historian Judith Lanigan, who performs the Dying Swan — "a tragedy with hula hoops" — using 30 hula hoops. The Cirque du Soleil shows Alegría, Quidam and Wintuk have presented hula hoop acts featuring contortionist and former rhythmic gymnast Elena Lev. The Cirque show Zumanity features hoop performer and aerialist Julia Kolosova.
