First we need to realise exactly what people are going to use such a service for, and that is basically one of two things. URL Shortening and File Location Protection.

Software companys like beepa are working hard to protect their software and remove files from pirate websites. Which, technically, is a nice and easy task unless pirates are careful about exactly what they display to a user OR a crawling bot.

What fileblip does is to remove the url to the file even from its own source code so an average user would have no idea where the file is located. Therefore there is no link to report and nobody to report it to.

So how is this legal? Well if the file is publically available and in breach of copyright then the only people committing the crime is the host of the file, all fileblip is programmed to do is hide the host site using standard web scripts.
