they were forced to disable sharing, clever

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 ?
- Because they wouldn't even need to arrest anyone to take the sites down, Hollywood would just have to make 1 phonecallanimatedgif

Filesonic, one of the Internet’s leading cyberlocker services, has taken some drastic measures following the Megaupload shutdown and arrests last week. In addition to discontinuing its affiliates rewards program and not yet paying accrued money to members, the site has disabled all sharing functionality, leaving users only with access to their own files.

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.
