We've been keeping an eye on exfm since it launched as a Google Chrome browser extension a little while ago.

Sure, you could score a fourteen-day trial, but there was no version of the service that was ultimately free. Now, through a combination of ads and a rather clever social networking angle, MOG is available to anyone for free (without a credit card) or as a paid subscription.

Two of Pirate Bay's founders, Peter Sunde and Frederik Neij, have decided to play nice with copyright officials by launching a new cyber locker service, Bayfiles. The service is similar to the likes of RapidShare and Megaupload, which, according to a 2010 ruling by the District Court of California, cyber lockers cannot be held liable for copyright infringement. That said, these cyber lockers have been taking off as a place to share files online, both legally and illegally.
