What do you mean, nothing makes me happy? I like Mediafire and have never had any copyright issues.

I switched to dropbox yesterday.
I had some copyright issues, but I always just shook it off and kept going. (I wouldn't do that if I really were violating real copyright laws)
But what really caught my attention with dropbox, is that you can view and hear PDFs and MIDIs without downloading them first.
That was amazing. It was worth the switch believe you me.
