Hello,
Today, I see that mediafire place google adsense ads. Is that mean that file sharing is something legal and we can also build adsense site like mediafire? Or will it still need some reviews from google before we are placing adsense ads on the site similar to mediafire?

Regards

    File sharing isn't illegal, sharing copyrighted content is.

        Just don't give incentive for each downloads like $10/1000 US downloads. It seems most file-sharing sites are survive from take down but dead from traffic if there are no incentive given.

        I just wanna tell you that most of the links in the signature are trash and/or a trap to make you pay!

    You've got some good answers already, file sharing isn't illegal, sharing illegal files is illegal (two different things).

    I own 3 sites in the same niche that are download sites & run Adsense, been doing this for a few years. I don't do anything remotely close to the scale of Mediafire, I also don't allow anyone to upload files.

    I've thought about allowing my traffic to upload files but I'm not going to put myself in the position to police everything other people are doing, a single copyrighted file/complaint could obviously get an Adsense ban (forget that).

    Those incentive file sharing sites are usually hosting illegal content, they pay nit wits pennies to upload illegal content that will draw in massive traffic.

    Mediafire isn't an incentive site but they do allow anonymous uploads, to be honest I have no idea how they get away with that setup. My advice is, don't do something with your Adsense account that's a risk, allowing anonymous uploads is completely risky.

    If you control 100% of the uploads file sharing is completely legit, as long as your the person that owns/created the files your sharing with traffic, nothing wrong with that for running Adsense on the same site.
