In March 2012, the Hamburg higher regional court upheld three earlier decisions that the file hoster could be held liable for publication of copyright protected material by third parties. It also judged that RapidShare could not be held liable for copyright infringements by its users, and that while the service was legal, a minority of illegal use could not be prevented by other measures proposed - for example keyword-based filtering (which could impair legal use), manual review of uploads (not feasible), or IP address analysis (as IP addresses can change frequently). It concluded that the plaintiff's suggestions for preventing sharing of copyrighted material were 'unreasonable or pointless'. The court also observed that the site removed copyrighted material upon request and did not provide search facilities for illegal material. In a 2009-2010 case brought against RapidShare by Atari Europe, the Düsseldorf higher regional court concluded on appeal that illegal use of RapidShare was by a small minority of its users and that to assume otherwise amounted to 'a general suspicion of shared hosting services and their users that cannot be justified'.
