> The reasons to why NoFile won't become a storage site for pirated content is that uploaders aren't rewarded for downloads.

This is a very very naive view of the situation. You're allowing user A to upload content which can be downloaded by an infinite(?) number of other users they give the link to. Therefore it will be used for piracy. And worse.

Edit: actually, a free unmonetized file hosting site? In this day and age? Behind whoisguard and cloudflare? Ideal law enforcement honeytrap tbh.

This guy gets it. But hey if the NSA wants to provide free hosting that is private and secure -- or apparently so until the drones level your neighborhood -- that's fine.
