File-sharing service RapidShare has been dealt a blow by a German court and faces severe penalties if it fails to take appropriate measures against the uploading of copyrighted content by its users.

GEMA hailed the decision as a huge victory, and concluded that RapidShare could face shutdown if it's unable to comply. (Ars Technica)
