U.S. Justice Department is reportedly exploring the possibility of other sharing sites such violations committed Megaupload. It could be that other sites will share the same fate.
Anticipating this, several alternative sites have shut down their file sharing service. This includes FileServe and FileSonic.
In addition, the same reason, sites like Uploaded.to block all internet protocol addresses (IP) based in the United States.
Indeed, as quoted by VentureBeat, is still difficult to estimate the share which sites would be closed.
"Megaupload case could set a bad precedent for the sharing site business," said Felix Wu, from the Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University.
Although there is no certainty, the following 15 sites that could potentially be sharing the next target:
A. BayFiles
Site based in Hong Kong was made by the two founders of The Pirate Bay. Two weeks ago, it announced it would discontinue the service because Megaupload case heats up.
This site was officially banned upload copyrighted content that is harmful to others. But on the other hand, its use to share pirated content is very easy.
2. DepositFiles
Site based in Cyprus can upload files up to 300MB for free without registration. If the list is a member, users can upload files up to 2GB for free too.
This site also offers membership "Gold" which allows users to download files quickly and without advertising. These premium services like Megaupload provided.
3. Divx Stage
The site is openly offered to pay 10 dollars for each upload of 1000 film. Users can upload files up to 1GB.

7. NovaMov
The site is similar to Divx Stage. Users would be appreciated if it is able to upload movies of up to 2GB in size. Paid 10 dollars for each upload of 1000 film is also offered here.
8. OvFile
From the side view, this site seems fine. But its simplicity as "an online video storage service" to make this site could be a target of the investigation.
9. PutLocker
PutLocker allows users to upload files up to 1GB for free and can stream video with no time limit. On February 1 later on, this site will discontinue its affiliate program that gives cash prizes to the user.
10. RapidShare

13. UpLoadKing
Much like UpLoadHere, except for a cheaper fee for premium service. Free users can only download files under 1GB and cannot be downloaded more than one file simultaneously.
