"So, if they're going after these filesharing, copyright-infringement-factilita... sites, and taking them down, using current laws on extradition and governance, why did they need/want SOPA/PIPA ?"
The way I understand it...charges against Megaupload is a complicated criminal case that has been over a year in the making. SOPA would give them the power to simply block your access to these sites without having to prosecute a case against them.
SOPA would also allow them to block access to any site that links to download sites. Sites like rlslog.net and sceper.eu that make it easy to browse through the latest stuff.
