Removing your cracked software from RapidShare is quite easy

If your software was cracked, stolen, patched or keygened then most of warez downloads are likely hosted on RapidShare.com. Try to Google for your product name + rapidshare.com.
If you find links to your software cracks or keygens don’t hesitate to ask RapidShare to remove them. Actually, they react very promptly - usually in 12-24 hours.

Reporting is easy. Just send a e-mail to abuse@rapidshare.com with “Abuse report” subject line.

In the message body use the following pattern:

Hello,

I’m YOUR_NAME, a CEO of YOUR_COMPANY

We are the author of YOUR_PRODUCT software (http://www.YOUR_SITE.com) .

Please remove the pirated (patched and keygened) version of
our product from your server:
http://rapidshare.com/files/….
http://rapidshare.com/files/….
….

Thanks!

Sincerely yours,
YOUR_NAME
YOUR_PHONE
YOUR_CONTACT_DETAILS

This will take just about 15-20 minutes of your time to find and report warez links but the effect in sales, or at least in number of original trial copy downloads, may be significant.

You can even set up a Google Alert for that query and get notified automatically (through mail or rss).

Saves you the trouble of manually doing the search each day when most of the time (hopefully!) it does not turn up anything.

The practice proves that most of warez downloads appear in about first week after release date. Actually there is no need to track them daily.
