SOPA and PIPA don't have a chance in hell of passing now. This incident proves the government doesn't need more power to "combat web piracy", they can already shut down a foreign website and arrest people in other countries without it.

The next time some idiot starts spouting off about how wonderful "cloud computing" is.....they need to be told that all the info you put into that "cloud" will be lost forever if someone else using it decides to upload a couple of old My little Pony episodes and the fed shuts down the entire server because of it.

Unfortunately, minus the stupid smiley he is probably correct. They will use them just like they used terrorist to create the justification they need to pass laws that will continue to strip us of our freedoms and rights just like with the patriot act.

Exactly.

Governments fear the internet. They just need the justification to make it less free.

While i don't agree with SOPA in its current form, Megaupload is one of the sites that a good piracy bill would stop anyway.
