The reasons to why NoFile won't become a storage site for pirated content is that uploaders aren't rewarded for downloads.
"Animated backgroud is very distracting. I'm constantly reacting to the new icons floating into the screen."
Another user pointed this out and a toggle for the animations will be added to the settings so that you can turn them off.
'Underlined "Or" in "Click Here Or Drag & Drop To Start Uploading" makes me think it's some kind of a link. Any reason to underline it?'
It's underlined just to separate the two options (clicking and dragging) for those who just read the "Click Here" part and assume that the rest of the sentence is just a description to why they should click here (e.g "Click here to start uploading your file").
"If I upload multiple files (which worked well) I want to be able to copy all the URLs at once. Displaying them in a text box would be good."
Instead of a text box there could be checkboxes next to each file allowing you to copy URLs and delete files in bulk. We'll work on adding this as soon as possible, thanks for your suggestion.

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.
There are plenty of sites not offering rewards that get used for piracy. There are other ways to monetize, and many pirates don't do it for money anyway. Don't expect that to keep pirates away.
So who do you think actually will use this site and for what? For pirated content there are tons of free torrent sites. For legit content Google Drive, Dropbox and many others offer very generous free to use packages. Why would I ever use a file sharing site like this instead?
