Rapidshare Comics File Sharing

Now that Marvel and DC have killed Demonoid and Z cult and torrent makers, parsers and hosters are on the run, comic book file sharing activists have switched to private forums and rapidshare accounts in order to "digitally preserve" comics. The private forums are by invitation only so no outsiders can gain access to the rapidshare codes short of hacking the site. Rapidshare does not seem to be policing the content stored on its site for copyright infringement. All of this might change once Marvel and Dc wise up and sue Rapidshare as a "contributory infringer" but for now, comic book scanners have a new refuge.
