Filesharing as we know it may have run its course, according to premium filesharing company Rhever. Filesharing is renowned as a source for people to download copyrighted music and movies, allowing users to get their hands on brand new material before it even hits the shops.

Filesharing websites have come under intense pressure from the music and movie industries. After TorrentSpy closed down, many people are now starting to say that the way the current filesharing industry works needs to be drastically changed.

TorrentSpy closed down in March thanks to legal action by the MPAA. Even though new filesharing websites seem to open up on a daily basis, people like the MPAA are determined to bring them all down It will be a lengthy battle but not one they are prepared to give up on. Similarly, the music industry has been suing individuals and going against websites.

So what is the new face of filesharing going to look like?
