Hello
Well, I really no longer use H*file, but I have some files stored in my premium account which runs out in mid 2013.
I definitely know I haven't shared the links, and the MD5 sums are likely unique.
But some days ago, I got two DMCA notices from H*file concerning files which were supposed to be private.
Can anyone shed light on this situation?
If the links haven't been shared, and no one else has downloaded them, I can't understand how the copyright holder knows the location of the files, and why I should get a strike for storing files for my own use.
Do the copyright holders have backdoor access to cyberlockers? If so, it goes beyond what the DMCA requires.
How can backdoor access, if true, take into account fair use, private copying and other copyright exceptions which are applicable in some countries?
If I have ripped a cd, I have a legal right to back up the files to a cyberlocker, as long as I don't share the links.
