But the magazine publisher Perfect 10 for adults already engaged in attacks on file-exchanger in a few months. In June last year, the publishing house filed a lawsuit on the company Kalmet Investments, a subsidiary of which is DepositFiles.

Publisher Perfect 10 also require millions of dollars in compensation for assisting in copyright infringement.
DepositFiles FileShare began to dispute the charges, and both sides are still trying to convince the court of California in the right. The court was even schedule hearings for a hearing, but, apparently, no longer hearing will not be. Both sides came to an agreement that will be formalized shortly. So they asked the court to cancel all scheduled meetings.
"Plaintiff and Defendant Perfect 10 Kalmet Investments have settled their differences. The parties are preparing for the written agreement and are waiting for his signature in the near future. " "The parties are hoping that all the terms of the agreement will be executed no later than July 16, 2012. Therefore, the parties mutually request the court to cancel all scheduled meetings ... ".

But not all court cases ended in victory for Perfect 10. In 2010, the publisher lost the case against RapidShare, when the court ruled that file sharing is not guilty of copyright infringement. However, while the percentage of wins per cent more injuries, Perfect 10 will again and again to call the offenders to court.
