...Only 85%?
I'm surprised they don't just adopt some crippling upload/download limit for files over 2mb. Sure you'll get the persistent users who will span/repackage files; but that's a fraction of individuals willing to go through that much trouble. It's helped keep yahoo in good standing here in many ways. But I guess every comany has their problems.

It would strat out as a fraction but would grow soon after people are more familiar to ways to get around it. Then you would have some one who makes a very easy user friendly program that can do all the work for you and it blows up again. Ignorance doesn't prevent people for a long time.

I see what you're saying; but I think you have one bit that you haven't put into your prediction there.
Yahoo did the same thing here. And it made them completely inconvenient for filesharing; so instead people switched to new; better methods. By doing this, yahoo made sure that the 'easy workaround' was to use somebody else's online storage.
So I agree that people will always find a way. But if yahoo makes it harder; the way that people find will be whoever is easier to exploit.

Yea I agree of course people will choose the easiest way.
