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.

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
