It's mostly used by pirates, and social aspect is not the main functionality (you can add comments, images, recommend people to other people, share their files, etc. , but that's all). Most people think of it as an alternative to rapidshare. They earn money from users paying for downloading transfer (uploading is free, or even gives you points you can use to download other files, I don't remember).
I wonder how they deal with copyright - maybe because you are supposed to know everybody you share with - it is fair use?
Thank You, I'll look into chomikuj! I want something for people in general, not general. It should be dead easy to share all the files I want to share with anyone in my friend graph.
I do want to know if it is fair use. No piracy intended!
