What Exactly Is Rapidgator?
Rapidgator is the name of a file hosting software program that people may use either free or in case of premium membership on payment of a small monthly fee to download and share music and video files. Though it works internationally but it is especially popular in some of the Asian countries where file hosting and sharing has never been as popular as it is today. According to a survey conducted recently about the usage of file-sharing programs there has been an increase in the users of file hosting services in Japan as well as other parts of the world.
Japan And The History Of File Hosting Services
In the late 1990’s a file hosting and sharing software called Napster entered the market and took it by storm. At that point of time no one knew that millions of people will use it for piracy without even knowing about it. In those days the entertainment industry suffered the loss of billions of dollars as people started downloading music for free instead of buying the Cassettes and Cd’s that were sold in the market. Many big names from the entertainment industry file lawsuits against the maker of such software and convicted them for encouraging people to break the copyright rules.
Japan is a country where copyright laws have been very strict and the people found guilty of downloading and sharing the copyright content with others are punished. Even after the implementation of strict laws the people who use Rapidgator for downloading music and movies outnumbered the ones who did not do so. According to some statistics shared by the Recording industry association of Japan last year 2.7 % internet users of Japan used P2P file sharing and file hosting services but today the number of people has increased to 3.5 percent.
Why Rapidgator?
Though the market is full of different file hosting services but the people of Asian countries and especially Japan like using the eight years old file hosting service called Rapidgator. The main reason for the increasing popularity of Rapidgator in Japan is its huge resource of Japanese music to share with the people. As in Japan downloading the copyright content is a crime the people with internet connectivity listen to the music online. Due to the strict copyright laws people of Japan had stayed away from filehosters but finding out about the limitless potential in the Japanese market the filehoster Rapidgator has entered its market and is loved by millions of music lovers.
Conclusion
Rapidgator is one of the reason of increasing popularity of using filehoster services among the people of Japan. As long as people use the filehosters in a lawful manner the filesharing is good but if the users do copyright infringements then it is better not to use these services.
