@ungot: Without Paypal on most filehosts i see, how many other stable filehosts out there that are still accepting payments with Paypal (other than Rapidshare and a few others)?
Here's my two cents on it, when there is a choice for downloaders to choose between a filehost with paypal and a filehost w/o Paypal, they will mostly likely to choose the one with PP. When all the filehosts doesn't have PP but just other methods of payments , downloaders will have no choice but to either enter their CC information to buy premium/bank transfer/whatever means of payment or just don't download at all. They might be reluctant to do it at first but if they have no other choice to get the content they want, they will still buy a premium through whatever alternative methods that is secure.
I knew PP would cause trouble for NL again but I didn't know it would take just 7-8 days again for it to happen. Maybe now NL would be more serious in getting more alternative payment methods for themselves and also for their affiliates.
